A group of U of I  students can carry concealed weapons into their classes , , , then party hardy at Champions Bar on Main Street showing off where/how they carry their concealed weapons until the bar closes .. . and then take the concealed weapons party on campus?

> "This bill is for the purpose of simplifying our gun laws," said Rep. Julianne Young, R-Blackfoot, who is co-sponsoring the bill along with Rep. Christy Zito, R-Hammett. "It also points us back to the principle that by giving responsible citizens the ability to defend themselves, we actually lower gun violence and other deaths we wish to prevent."

> People aged 18 to 21 can legally possess a handgun in Idaho and can buy one through a private sale. However, you have to be 21 to buy a handgun from a federally licensed dealer per federal law, and this bill wouldn't change that.

> Three members of the public testified at the hearing, including Idaho Second Amendment Alliance head Greg Pruett and his young son. All favored the change.
