Is it legal to carry a firearm in a bar or restaurant that serves alcohol in Montana?

Yes, if the firearm is not loaded
Yes, but concealed carry only
No, it is not legal
Yes, unless signs prohibit it

The correct answer is: Yes, unless signs prohibit it

In Montana, it is indeed legal to carry a firearm in a bar or restaurant that serves alcohol, with certain conditions. The law permits individuals to carry firearms in such establishments unless there are specific signs prohibiting firearms on the premises. This means that if you encounter a venue that has posted a sign disallowing firearms, you must adhere to that prohibition. Carrying a firearm while in a bar or restaurant poses special considerations around safety and responsibility, particularly due to the presence of alcohol, which is why the state allows establishments to make their own rules regarding firearms on their property. Understanding and respecting these rules is crucial for lawful carry practices.
