Can a non-resident purchase a handgun in Montana?

Yes
No
Yes, but they must pass a background check
Yes, but the handgun must be shipped to a dealer in their state of residency

The correct answer is: Yes, but the handgun must be shipped to a dealer in their state of residency

The correct answer is that a non-resident can purchase a handgun in Montana, but the handgun must be shipped to a dealer in their state of residency. Under federal law, non-residents are allowed to buy firearms, including handguns, from other states as long as the transaction complies with both state and federal regulations. Shipping the firearm to a licensed dealer in the buyer's state ensures compliance with local laws and allows the buyer to undergo any required background checks or other legal requirements in their home state. This answer reflects an understanding of the regulations governing firearm sales, particularly how interstate commerce of firearms operates under federal law. It ensures that all necessary legal steps are followed, maintaining safety and legal compliance in the purchase process.
