What constitutes illegal possession of a firearm in Montana?

Possessing a firearm with a felony conviction
Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit
Both A and B
None of the above

The correct answer is: Both A and B

In Montana, illegal possession of a firearm can be defined by two main factors: being a convicted felon and failing to carry a concealed weapon permit when required. A felony conviction prohibits individuals from owning or possessing firearms. This is rooted in federal law and supported by Montana law, which recognizes the potential risks associated with allowing individuals with serious criminal histories access to firearms. Such restrictions are designed to enhance public safety. Additionally, carrying a concealed weapon without the necessary permit also falls under illegal firearm possession in Montana. The state requires individuals to obtain a concealed carry permit to legally carry a concealed firearm. Not adhering to this regulations exposes individuals to legal penalties. Therefore, both circumstances contribute to illegal firearm possession in Montana, making the answer that includes both scenarios correct.
