Are Forced Reset Triggers Legal in Idaho?

Idaho's current Title 18, chapter 33 does not contain a machine-gun-conversion-device offense or a separate forced-reset or generic rate-increasing-trigger category.

Senate Bill 1349 in the 2026 session proposed machine-gun and conversion-device provisions tied to automatic fire. The bill remained referred to the Senate State Affairs Committee and did not become part of the codified statutes.

Under the 2025 DOJ settlement with Rare Breed Triggers, an FRT fires one round per trigger function and is not an NFA machine gun federally. The settlement covers rifles and grip-forward pistols; it does not extend to grip-fed handguns (Glock, S&W M&P, Canik), whose federal FRT status remains less settled. State bans operate independently of federal law through broader state machine-gun, trigger-activator, or rate-of-fire definitions.

Scope: Forced reset triggers (Rare Breed FRT-15, Dairyland Defender, and similar) and forced-reset selectors (AR Super Safety, ARC-Fire). One round per trigger function. Binary triggers are a separate class.
