Many states would have been happy to have Constitutional Carry at all, but thanks to one gun rights organization in Idaho, gun owners kept pushing for more — and they got it.
Greg Pruett is the Executive Director of Idaho Second Ammendment Alliance and he isn’t like other gun rights activists. When other groups would have sat back and rested on their laurels, Pruett kept the ball rolling.
During the battle to expand Constitutional Carry, Idaho’s State Attorney General Lawrence Wasden tried to shut Pruett down with a bogus legal charge. After that failed, insiders in Boise tried to convince voters and gun owners not to listen to him by spreading slanderous lies and innuendo.
But Greg Pruett’s organization is built on a different model: just keep hammering away on the bad guys, and pay no attention to the smoke screens they throw up to distract people.
Pruett’s IDSAA didn’t just refuse to buckle under the attacks, they even took a few political scalps of their own along the way.
During the state’s 2020 primaries, Pruett mobilized a veritable army of Idaho’s finest gun owners. These mobilized gun owners successfully pounded on the anti-gun candidates, retiring several weak-kneed moderates before they could ever take a seat and sell out our gun rights.
