What is the minimum age to legally possess a firearm in Montana?

The correct answer is: 18

In Montana, the minimum age to legally possess a firearm is 18 years old. This law aligns with many federal regulations and reflects the understanding that individuals at this age are generally considered adults and capable of making responsible decisions regarding firearm ownership. While individuals younger than 18 may be permitted to handle firearms under specific circumstances, such as under the supervision of a parent or guardian for activities such as hunting or target shooting, they do not have the legal right to independently possess a firearm. This distinction underscores the importance of age restrictions in promoting responsible gun ownership and ensuring that individuals who possess firearms are equipped to handle them safely.
