Can non-residents purchase firearms in Montana?

Yes, but only rifles and shotguns
No
Yes, any type of firearm
Yes, but they must have a Montana hunting license

The correct answer is: Yes, but only rifles and shotguns

In Montana, non-residents can purchase firearms, but there are specific regulations regarding the type of firearms they can buy. The correct answer highlights that non-residents are allowed to purchase rifles and shotguns, which aligns with federal laws that permit non-residents to buy long guns in states where they are legally permitted to do so. It is important to note that federal law prohibits non-residents from purchasing handguns unless they go through a licensed dealer in their own state. Therefore, while non-residents do have access to certain types of firearms in Montana, that access is limited primarily to rifles and shotguns. The other options suggest either a restriction that doesn't align with state law or to broader allowances that don't consider the legal framework in place for non-resident purchases.
