Can non-residents purchase a handgun in Montana?

Yes, without restrictions
Yes, but they must ship the handgun to their home state
No
Yes, but only at licensed firearm dealers

The correct answer is: Yes, but they must ship the handgun to their home state

Non-residents are able to purchase handguns in Montana, as long as they abide by certain restrictions. Option A is incorrect because although non-residents can purchase handguns, there are still some restrictions in place. Option C is also incorrect because non-residents are not completely prohibited from purchasing handguns in Montana. Option D is also incorrect because non-residents can purchase handguns from private sellers, not just licensed firearm dealers. Option B is the most accurate because non-residents are allowed to purchase handguns in Montana, but they must have it shipped to their home state in order to comply with federal laws. This is in accordance with the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968, which requires firearms to be transferred through federally licensed dealers in the buyer's home state. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
