Is a permit required to purchase a firearm in Montana?

  1. Yes, for all firearms

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for handguns

  4. Yes, but only for assault weapons

The correct answer is: No

In Montana, a permit is not required to purchase any firearms. This applies to all types of firearms, including rifles, shotguns, and handguns. The state's gun laws are designed to facilitate the ownership and acquisition of firearms without the additional burden of permits for purchasing. This approach aligns with the rights granted under the Second Amendment and reflects a more permissive stance on firearm ownership. Other options suggesting that permits are required for all firearms, only for handguns, or exclusively for assault weapons do not align with the current legal framework in Montana. In essence, the lack of a mandatory permit system makes firearm purchases more accessible for responsible citizens in the state.
