Who can legally own a firearm in Montana?

Any resident over the age of 18
Non-residents with a valid hunting license
Only U.S. citizens over the age of 21
Residents with a concealed carry permit

The correct answer is: Any resident over the age of 18

In Montana, the law states that any person who is over the age of 18 and is not prohibited by law from owning a firearm can legally own a firearm. This means that residents who meet this age requirement have the right to purchase and possess firearms without additional restrictions based solely on age. While non-residents with a valid hunting license, U.S. citizens over the age of 21, and residents with a concealed carry permit also have specific privileges related to firearms, the fundamental legality of firearm ownership in Montana begins at age 18 for residents who do not fall under legal disqualifications, such as felony convictions or mental health issues that would prohibit firearm ownership. Thus, the broadest and most inclusive answer regarding who can legally own a firearm in Montana is that any resident over the age of 18 has that right.
