Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter has designated May as Second Amendment Protection Month.
His signed declaration cites Idaho's gun-friendly ranking with the National Rifle Association (NRA).
Otter's declaration also seeks to "encourage business leaders who are looking for a new operation for their locations to become new corporate citizens in a state that will encourage their continued success."
“In Idaho, we know what ‘business friendly’ means. We cherish and defend freedom – those principles are the fiber of who we are as Idahoans and represent all aspects of the way we conduct our business – from removing undue government regulations and restrictions to supporting gun ownership as a constitutional right,” Governor Otter wrote to industry leaders. - Idaho Department of Commerce website
Last week, an Idaho Department of Commerce spokesperson said Idaho is courting gun and ammunition companies looking to move to a more friendly business environment.
