Because if a resident of Idaho is open carrying without a carry permit, and their shirt or jacket covers up their pistol for one reason or another. When this law goes in effect, they won't end up in jail for a year, pay a fine and end up with a misdemeanor in their record.

Penalties for Gun Carry Violations
It is a misdemeanor to carry a concealed handgun in Idaho without a license. (Id. Code Ann. § 18-3302(14).) Penalties include a fine, up to one year in jail, or both "
Regarding the point that those who are 18- 20 years old still be required to have a permit in Idaho,,,should consider themselves lucky. In some states they cannot can't get even get a carry permit until they reach 21.
Some states, like Oklahoma are trying to do away with needing a permit in order to open carry.
Some states like New Jersey, Maryland and Hawaii it is IMPOSSIBLE for a resident to get a carry permit of any type unless they have some absolute justifiable need and can prove it in a court of law in front of judge and even then most of those get denied.
Even though this is an open carry forum, concealed carry will still be talked about regardless. The difference between open and concealed carry is a thin piece of cloth. That thin piece of cloth does not make the pistol shoot stronger, shoot farther or shoot faster.
That thin piece of cloth now makes the wearer subject to misdemeanors, fines or jail time unless they have the permission slip from the state . And paid the application and mandated training fees (depending on the state), gave out personal information to the state, gave their photos, and their fingerprints (in some states) and subject themselves to automatic monthly background checks by the state ...like Kentucky does.
Again, the difference between open and concealed carry is a thin piece of cloth.
The difference between a year in jail (or more) is a ..... thin piece of cloth....unless you have the 'permission slip'.
In an ideal world everyone should be able to open carry and carry concealed without requiring a carry permit. But we are not there...yet. There are three states where residents just wish they had some kind of shall issue carry permit system in place.
Idaho in some ways was a bigger deal than West Virginia , because in Idaho the governor actually signed the bill while thumbing his nose at Bloomberg's well funded "Mom's Demand" groups.
