When is it legal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit in Montana?

In public buildings
Inside city limits
Outside city limits
At public events

The correct answer is: Outside city limits

In Montana, it is legal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit outside of city limits due to state laws that allow open and concealed carry in areas that are not designated as public places or restricted zones. This generally includes rural areas where local ordinances do not impose additional restrictions on carrying firearms. By allowing concealed carry without a permit in these areas, Montana supports the rights of individuals to defend themselves in a broader geographical context where the potential for encounters may exist. In contrast, carrying a concealed weapon within public buildings, inside city limits, or at public events typically involves more stringent regulations and often requires a permit or adherence to specific rules outlined by local laws.
