Can someone carry a concealed firearm in a bank in Montana?

Yes, if the bank does not post any signage prohibiting it
No, it is strictly prohibited
Yes, with a valid permit
No, unless you are a law enforcement officer

The correct answer is: Yes, if the bank does not post any signage prohibiting it

The correct answer is based on Montana's laws regarding the carrying of concealed firearms in private establishments, including banks. In Montana, individuals are generally allowed to carry concealed firearms unless the establishment has posted a sign that expressly prohibits it. If there are no such signs indicating that firearms are not allowed on the premises, a person can legally carry a concealed firearm into the bank. This aligns with the principle that private property owners, like banks, have the right to set their own policies regarding firearms. Therefore, unless there is a posted restriction, the absence of such signage allows for concealed carry. While some options suggest prohibitions or conditions like law enforcement status or permit requirements, they do not align with the straightforward application of Montana law regarding the lack of signage. Hence, the ability to carry a concealed firearm hinges on whether the bank has communicated any restrictions through appropriate signage.
