Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Montana?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for residents of certain cities

  4. Yes, but only for first-time buyers

The correct answer is: No

In Montana, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. The state recognizes the right of individuals to buy firearms without the need for a special permit or license. This aligns with the broader emphasis on gun rights prevalent in Montana's laws, which allow law-abiding citizens to acquire firearms more freely compared to some other states that have more stringent regulations regarding handgun purchases. This established freedom facilitates more straightforward transactions and accessibility for those looking to buy handguns. It’s also noteworthy that while some cities might have local regulations, they do not impose a requirement for a permit specifically to purchase handguns statewide. Hence, your answer correctly identifies that no permit is necessary for this purpose in Montana.
