Which of the following is the minimum required distance for shooting a firearm near an occupied building in Montana, unless permission is given?

  1. 100 yards

  2. 440 feet

  3. 150 yards

  4. 500 feet

The correct answer is: 500 feet

In Montana, the law requires that a shooter maintain a minimum distance from an occupied building, which is set at 500 feet unless permission has been granted by the property owner. This regulation is in place to ensure the safety of individuals and property in residential areas. By enforcing this distance, the law aims to reduce the risks associated with stray bullets and other safety concerns related to firearm use near populated areas. Understanding this requirement helps promote responsible gun ownership and community safety.
