Montana law prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons inside city, town or logging camp limits and contains some limits on the carrying of concealed weapons outside of city limits. However, a person may carry concealed weapons in many instances if he or she has a permit to do so. Concealed weapons permits are available to Montana residents. Montana also recognizes concealed weapons permits from some other states. Non-residents must meet the following criteria to carry a concealed weapon in Montana:<\/p>

  • The state that issued their permit must require a criminal records background check for issuance of a permit.<\/li>
  • The permit must be in the holder’s possession.<\/li>
  • The permit holder must have photo identification.<\/li><\/ul>

    To obtain a Montana concealed weapons permit, a person must have been a Montana resident for at least six months, must be a U.S. citizen and must be at least 18 years old. Applications are available from the local county sheriffs office.
    Local regulations may restrict the carrying of concealed weapons at public meetings, in public parks and buildings, and in schools.Local county sheriffs can provide information on where concealed weapons are prohibited in their counties.
    Montana has no prohibitions against carrying a weapon in a motor vehicle, although federal rules apply in national parks.<\/p>
