Montana Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Can you carry a concealed firearm without a permit in Montana outside city limits?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only with special permission

4. Only if you are hunting

The correct answer is: Yes

In Montana, individuals are allowed to carry a concealed firearm without a permit outside city limits. This provision reflects the state's commitment to gun rights and the belief that law-abiding citizens should be able to exercise their rights without excessive regulations. Carrying a concealed weapon in rural areas, where the population density is lower, is generally viewed as less contentious than in urban environments. While some restrictions and regulations may apply in specific circumstances, and there are certain places where firearms may be prohibited regardless of location (like schools or government buildings), the basic premise is that outside city limits, no permit is required for concealed carry for individuals who are legally permitted to own firearms.
