cwl at 19 in idaho

[zrcogg]

I moved to idaho from massachusetts not to long ago. And from looking up the laws it is possible to get a cwl at 19. I open carry every day. but sometimes it brings forth unwanted attention. I'm in idaho falls and jefferson and bonneville counties said they will not issue me a license unless I'm in the service. I guess my question here is does anyone know of a county preferably in eastern idaho where the sheriff is a pro 2a guy and would be more likely to issue me a license. I have the ability to open carry so the cwl isn't a major deal but id prefer to conceal instead of open carry.
