Are assault weapons banned in Montana?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in certain cities

  4. Yes, but only for persons under 21

The correct answer is: No

Montana does not have a statewide ban on assault weapons, which is why the answer is correct. While various states may impose restrictions or outright bans on certain types of firearms categorized as assault weapons, Montana adheres to a more permissive stance regarding firearm ownership and regulations. In the context of local laws, some cities or municipalities may enact their own firearm regulations, but there is no statewide prohibition on assault weapons across Montana. This means that individuals can own and possess firearms that may be classified under the assault weapon category without facing statewide legal penalties. The other options involve misunderstandings of either the state law or the nuances regarding local ordinances, which do not entirely reflect the broader perspective on firearm ownership in Montana.
