What places are considered prohibited for carrying firearms in Montana?

Federal buildings only
Schools, government buildings, and places where alcohol is served
Schools and federal buildings
Anywhere alcohol is served

The correct answer is: Schools and federal buildings

The correct answer highlights that certain locations in Montana are legally designated as restricted for carrying firearms. Specifically, schools and federal buildings are classified as prohibited areas for firearm carry. Federal buildings, as governed by federal law, often impose strict regulations on firearms to ensure safety and security within government facilities. Schools are also sensitive environments where the presence of firearms is heavily restricted to protect students and staff. While other locations like places where alcohol is served may also have restrictions regarding firearm carry, they are not specified in the chosen option nor do they carry the same unequivocal prohibition as schools and federal buildings in Montana law. Therefore, the focus on these two specific categories emphasizes the state's approach to regulating firearm possession in sensitive and high-risk environments.
