Can a non-resident carry a concealed weapon in Montana?

Yes, without any permit
Yes, with a Montana issued permit
Yes, with a permit from their own state
No, under any circumstances

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit from their own state

A non-resident can carry a concealed weapon in Montana with a permit from their home state. This aligns with Montana's laws, which recognize the validity of concealed carry permits issued by other states, as long as those permits meet specific criteria. This reciprocity allows non-residents to carry concealed firearms legally while visiting Montana, provided they comply with their own state's permit regulations. In Montana, while there is no requirement for a resident to have a permit to openly carry a firearm, concealed carry does require the appropriate permitting, even for non-residents. If a non-resident possesses a lawful concealed carry permit issued by their state and that state is recognized by Montana, they are allowed to carry concealed weapons. This approach fosters respect for individuals' rights while maintaining a framework for responsible firearm usage in public spaces.
