Is open carry of firearms allowed in Montana without a permit?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only in rural areas

  3. No

  4. Yes, but not in cities or towns

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

Open carry of firearms is indeed permitted in Montana without needing a permit, making it a lawful act across the state. This means individuals can carry firearms openly in most public spaces without any specific restrictions. However, while there may be regulations regarding the discharge of firearms or specific locations where carrying is prohibited (such as schools or certain government buildings), there is no overarching law that bars individuals from openly carrying a firearm in public areas throughout the state. The other answer choices suggest limitations or restrictions that do not align with Montana's gun laws, as they either imply geographical restrictions or requirements for permits, which aren't applicable under the current legal framework for open carry in the state.
