Montana Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Are magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds banned in Montana?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only in certain cities

4. Only for specific types of firearms

The correct answer is: No

Montana law does not prohibit the possession or use of magazines that have a capacity of more than 15 rounds. Therefore, individuals are allowed to own and use magazines that exceed this capacity in the state. This stance aligns with Montana's broader approach to firearm regulation, which emphasizes individual rights and responsibilities regarding firearm ownership. While some states have implemented restrictions or bans on high-capacity magazines, Montana has not enacted such laws, making the answer that magazines with a capacity exceeding 15 rounds are not banned in Montana correct. Other options suggest limitations either based on specific locations or types of firearms, which do not reflect the current state laws regarding magazine capacity. This reinforces the understanding that, within Montana, there is no overarching state law that restricts magazine capacity in this manner.
