What is the legal blood alcohol content limit for someone carrying a firearm in Montana?

0.08%
0.00%
0.04%
0.10%

The correct answer is: 0.04%

In Montana, it is illegal for anyone to operate or be in physical control of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. However, individuals carrying a firearm in Montana are subject to a lower legal BAC limit of 0.04%, regardless of whether or not they are also operating a motor vehicle. This is because carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is considered a serious public safety issue and can result in heavier penalties. Option A (0.08%) and D (0.10%) are incorrect because they reflect the legal BAC limit for operating a motor vehicle in Montana, not carrying a firearm. Option B (0.00%) is also incorrect because it implies that there is no legal limit for carrying a firearm under the influence, which is not the case in Montana.
