Can non-residents purchase firearms in Montana?

Yes, but only shotguns and rifles
Yes, all types of firearms
No, none at all
Only with a special permit

The correct answer is: Yes, but only shotguns and rifles

The correct answer is that non-residents can purchase all types of firearms in Montana, including handguns, shotguns, and rifles. Montana law does not impose restrictions specifically barring non-residents from buying firearms, provided they comply with federal laws and any applicable local regulations. This means that individuals from outside Montana can legally purchase a variety of firearms while visiting the state, making option A too restrictive and not fully representing the legal landscape. Firearms transactions typically adhere to federal guidelines, which allow individuals, including non-residents, to buy firearms as long as they do not fall under prohibited categories. This regulatory structure facilitates the purchase of firearms for non-residents, ensuring that their rights are similar to those of residents.
