Is open carry of a firearm legal in Montana?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. Yes, but only with a permit

  3. No, it is not legal

  4. Only during hunting season

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

While open carry of a firearm is legal in Montana, it is important to note that carrying without a permit does not completely exempt an individual from all weapons charges. It is still illegal to intentionally or negligently discharge a firearm in a public place or within city limits unless in self defense or defense of another person. Additionally, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. The option B is incorrect because it implies that a permit is necessary for open carry, which is not the case in Montana. Option C is incorrect because, as mentioned, open carry is legal in Montana. Option D is incorrect because open carry is not restricted to only hunting season.
