Description
Jose Morales was charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a license, I.C. § 18-3302. The magistrate granted a judgment of acquittal at the conclusion of the States trial evidence because the State did not prove that Morales had no license to carry a concealed weapon. On the States appeal, the district court reversed that order. Morales now appeals from the district courts decision. The issue presented is whether a defendants lack of a license to carry a concealed weapon is an element of the offense under I.C. § 18-3302 upon which the State bears the burden of proof, as the magistrate held, or whether possession of a license is an affirmative defense to be proved by the defendant, as the district court concluded.
