Which of the following activities is considered unlawful misuse of a firearm in Montana?

  1. Hunting on private property with permission

  2. Shooting in self-defense

  3. Brandishing a weapon in a threatening manner

  4. Transporting a firearm for lawful purposes

The correct answer is: Brandishing a weapon in a threatening manner

Brandishing a weapon in a threatening manner is considered unlawful misuse of a firearm in Montana because it is a direct threat to the safety and well-being of others. It is considered a form of illegal intimidation and can result in criminal charges. Hunting on private property with permission, shooting in self-defense, and transporting a firearm for lawful purposes are all legal and responsible uses of a firearm in Montana. However, brandishing a weapon in a threatening manner goes beyond the lawful and responsible use of a firearm and can cause harm to others. Therefore, it is considered unlawful misuse of a firearm.
