The Idaho Second Amendment Alliance (ISAA) is calling out the Caldwell Night Rodeo for enforcing a gun-free zone that undermines the rights of law-abiding Idahoans and jeopardizes public safety.
“Gun-free zones don’t make anyone safer—they make citizens more vulnerable,” said Greg Pruett, President of ISAA. “Rodeos are a proud Idaho tradition, but banning firearms at a public event sends the wrong message in a state that values liberty and personal responsibility.”
ISAA has long opposed policies that disarm citizens, especially in public venues where families gather and threats cannot be predicted. The organization argues that such policies not only violate the spirit of Idaho’s constitutional protections but also ignore the reality that criminals don’t follow signs or rules.
“Idahoans shouldn’t have to choose between attending community events and exercising their rights,” Pruett added. “We’re urging the Caldwell Night Rodeo and other venues across the state to reconsider these misguided policies and stand with the people—not against them.”
The Idaho Second Amendment Alliance stands unwavering in its fight to strengthen Idaho’s firearm preemption law—so that every city, county, and public event respects the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. These protections aren’t just policy—they’re a promise to Idahoans. While the legislature continues to stall, ISAA will keep pressing forward until that promise is fulfilled.
ISAA is encouraging supporters to respectfully voice their concerns to event organizers and local officials. The group will continue to advocate for legislation that prohibits gun-free zones on public property and ensures Idaho remains a national leader in Second Amendment protections.
