Is it legal to carry a firearm onto school property in Montana, with a valid concealed carry permit?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, with special permission from the school

  4. Yes, but it must remain locked in a vehicle

The correct answer is: No

In Montana, it is illegal to carry a firearm onto school property, even with a valid concealed carry permit. The law specifically prohibits individuals from possessing firearms in school zones, which includes all public and private K-12 schools and their grounds. The intent behind this prohibition is to ensure a safe environment for students and staff. Although some states have enacted laws that allow certain exceptions or conditions for carrying firearms on school property, Montana's law is strict in this regard, reflecting a commitment to maintaining safety in educational settings. The other options hint at possible conditions that don't align with Montana's existing laws, as there are no provisions allowing carry with special permission or keeping firearms locked in vehicles on school property in general circumstances.
