Can non-residents of Montana apply for a Montana concealed carry permit?

  1. Yes, if they are U.S. citizens

  2. No

  3. Yes, but they must own property in Montana

  4. Yes, but only if they have a relative living in Montana

The correct answer is: No

The correct answer is that non-residents of Montana cannot apply for a Montana concealed carry permit. Montana law specifically stipulates that only residents of the state are eligible to apply for a concealed carry permit. This regulation ensures that permit holders are familiar with the local laws and regulations related to firearms, which can vary significantly from state to state. While other possibilities may consider certain criteria or relationships to the state, they do not align with the established law that limits the issuance of concealed carry permits to state residents. Consequently, individuals who live outside Montana do not have the option to obtain a permit through the avenues suggested by the other choices.
