Launchers and Projectile Laws

Are Launchers and Projectiles Legal In Idaho?

Launchers and Projectiles in ID is Legal.

Legal Idaho's "deadly weapon" definition expressly excludes pepper spray, and an OC-loaded compressed-gas launcher meets neither the deadly-weapon nor the explosive-propelled "firearm" definition. No age, permit, or carry restriction specific to this device was found. Idaho law does not separately address launcher-delivered versus canister-delivered OC. This addresses the OC-loaded (chemical-agent) configuration only; the kinetic-only (non-OC) configuration is addressed separately. Statute: Idaho Code § 18-3302(2)(b)-(d) Official source: https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/title18/t18ch33/sect18-3302/ This is general information, not legal advice. Laws change.
