Montana Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Is there a 'red flag' law in Montana that allows courts to temporarily remove guns from people considered to be a danger to themselves or others?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only during a mental health crisis

4. Yes, but only after a felony conviction

The correct answer is: No

Montana does not currently have a "red flag" law in place. A "red flag" law, also known as extreme risk protection order, allows courts to temporarily remove guns from individuals who are considered to be a danger to themselves or others. While other states have implemented this type of law, Montana has not yet passed any legislation to enact a "red flag" law. Option A is incorrect because there is no "red flag" law in Montana. Option C is incorrect because it implies that there may be a "red flag" law only in certain circumstances, which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect because it only mentions one specific scenario (after a felony conviction) when a "red flag" law can be applied, but this is not the case in Montana since there is no such law in place. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
