What is the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm in Montana?

0.00%
0.04%
0.08%
There is no specific BAC limit

The correct answer is: 0.08%

In Montana, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for carrying a firearm is established primarily through the regulation of firearm use and alcohol consumption. The correct answer is that there is no specific BAC limit established for carrying a firearm in Montana. This means that, unlike driving a vehicle where a BAC of 0.08% is considered legally impaired, the state does not impose a specific BAC threshold for carrying firearms. While individuals may still be liable for behaving recklessly or irresponsibly while armed, there is an allowance that permits lawful firearm possession and carry regardless of BAC levels. Therefore, a responsible firearm owner should always ensure that they are sober enough to handle their firearm safely, but legally speaking, the absence of a designated BAC limit means there is more personal responsibility on the part of the firearm carrier in Montana.
