What is required for a Montana resident to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer?

  1. Montana residency for at least 6 months

  2. Completion of a hunter education course

  3. Passing a federal background check

  4. A special state-issued handgun permit

The correct answer is: Passing a federal background check

A Montana residency for at least 6 months is incorrect because there is no specific time requirement for residency in order to purchase a handgun. As long as the buyer is a Montana resident, they are eligible to buy a handgun. B: Completion of a hunter education course is incorrect because it is not a requirement for purchasing a handgun. This course is only required for obtaining a hunting license and is not related to the purchase of a firearm. D: A special state-issued handgun permit is incorrect because Montana does not require a permit specifically for purchasing a handgun. However, a permit may be required for concealed carry of a handgun in certain situations.
