In Montana, who is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchasers?

  1. The Montana Department of Justice

  2. The Federal Bureau of Investigation

  3. Local law enforcement agencies

  4. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks

The correct answer is: The Federal Bureau of Investigation

In Montana, the FBI is responsible for conducting background checks for firearm purchasers. The Montana Department of Justice does not conduct these checks as it is not a federal agency. Local law enforcement agencies also do not conduct these checks as they do not have access to the necessary databases. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is responsible for regulating hunting and fishing, not for conducting background checks for firearms.
