A few facts about Idaho. It is the nation's number one producer of
potatoes (we all know that!) but it is also the leading producer of
precious gemstones. That is why the nickname of the state is the Gem
State. The state fruit is the huckleberry and the state fish is the
cutthroat trout. According to current census figures, Idaho has just
over 1.5 million residents. That's certainly not a lot of people for an
entire state when you consider there are some major cities with
populations bigger than that.
As with other states, most of Idaho laws were created by the state's
legislature. As the forty-third state in the nation Idaho has the
benefit of using other state laws as the foundation for their own.
Ultimately, it comes down to which are the best policies to serve the
citizens of Idaho. You'll find a complete overview of Idaho laws and
policies on this website.
Idaho Gun Laws
Like many states dominated by rural countryside, Idaho has a long
standing tradition of hunting. Because of that, gun ownership is a
primary concern for residents. To insure that their rights are
protected while maintaining a high standard of safety, there are
several gun laws that have been developed over the years. These laws
pertain to who is legally permitted to own, sell and buy a firearm.
They also cover concealed weapon permits and the transportation of
firearms. Idaho gun laws cover all the variables of ownership and
dealing.
Idaho DUI Laws
The best case scenario for a drunk driver is to have them pulled over
and taken off the roads before any real damage can occur. That is why
Idaho law enforcement officials are given a strong set of laws
pertaining to driving under the influence or DUI offenses.
There might be some common areas that Idaho shares with rest of the
nation pertaining to the legal definition of drunk driving. However,
the penalties for a first time conviction versus a second or third time
conviction vary. Idaho DUI laws are very clear about the circumstances
surrounding DUI incidents.
Idaho Criminal Laws
Law and order isn't just a popular television show, it is how society
keeps itself from slipping into anarchy. The Idaho state legislature
has created classifications of crimes into felony and misdemeanor
categories. Although a person can be arrested for burglary whether they
are charged with felony or misdemeanor will depend on the circumstances
of the crime. And each one of those classifications carries different
levels of possible jail time and fines.
Idaho Divorce Laws
Idaho is no different from other states when it comes to divorce rates.
Given the population numbers, Idaho's divorce rate is on par with the
rest of the nation. That means they have developed their own divorce
laws which delve into the specific grounds for a legal divorce and the
residency requirements needed to file. The issues of alimony, child
support and custody and property distribution are all dealt with in the
Idaho divorce law statutes.
Idaho Bankruptcy Laws
The downturn in the nation's economy has touched every life and the
citizens of Idaho are no different. Even before this current slump,
there were still Idaho bankruptcy laws on the books to help citizens
and businesses cope with financial ruin.

can you get a 2nd degree assault charge which you were found guilty of expunged from your record. I want to join the army and they won't take me cause they say in the army all 2nd degree assault charges are felonies, even though mine was a misdemeandor.
