Is open carry of a firearm legal in Montana without a permit?

  1. Yes, without restrictions

  2. Yes, but only in rural areas

  3. No, it is completely illegal

  4. Yes, but not in cities or towns

The correct answer is: Yes, without restrictions

The open carry of a firearm in Montana is indeed legal without a permit. This means that individuals can carry firearms openly in public places without needing special permission or a concealed carry permit. The law applies uniformly across the state, making it permissible regardless of whether one is in a rural or urban area, thus allowing for personal choice regarding the carrying of a firearm. In this context, options suggesting limitations on open carry, such as restrictions to rural areas or bans in cities and towns, do not align with the state's laws. The legal framework in Montana supports an individual's right to openly carry firearms without requiring any specific conditions or locations for open carry, reflecting a broad interpretation of the Second Amendment rights.
