Who is required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Montana?

Only residents of Montana
Only non-residents of Montana
Anyone purchasing a handgun
All buyers

The correct answer is: All buyers

When purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Montana, all buyers are required to undergo a background check. This requirement is in place to ensure that individuals who may be prohibited from owning a firearm due to various reasons, such as felony convictions or mental health issues, are identified and prevented from completing the transaction. The background check is designed to enhance public safety by verifying the eligibility of all individuals attempting to purchase firearms, regardless of their residency status or the type of firearm they are buying. Each buyer, whether a resident or non-resident and regardless of whether they are purchasing a handgun or a long gun, must undergo this process to comply with both state and federal regulations.
