For what reason might a person be denied the issuance of a concealed weapons permit in Montana?

Being under the age of 18
Having a felony conviction
Not being a Montana resident
All of the above

The correct answer is: Having a felony conviction

A person may be denied the issuance of a concealed weapons permit in Montana for a felony conviction. This is based on the legal premise that individuals with felony convictions may pose a higher risk when it comes to carrying concealed firearms. Such restrictions are designed to ensure public safety, as individuals with felony records might have a history of violence or other criminal behavior that could be exacerbated by access to firearms. While being under the age of 18 and not being a Montana resident are also relevant factors, the primary and most consequential reason that directly affects eligibility is the presence of a felony conviction. Montana law is structured to prevent individuals who have committed serious crimes from obtaining permits for concealed carry, reflecting a broader commitment to responsible firearm ownership and community safety.
