Who is eligible to possess a firearm under Montana law?

Only law enforcement personnel
Only individuals with a permit
Any U.S. citizen or permanent resident over 18 without prohibitive conditions
Only members of the military

The correct answer is: Any U.S. citizen or permanent resident over 18 without prohibitive conditions

Under Montana law, the eligibility to possess a firearm is primarily defined by the condition that any U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is over the age of 18 may do so, provided they do not fall under any prohibitive conditions. This means that individuals who have not been convicted of certain felonies, do not have restraining orders against them, or have not been adjudicated as mentally incompetent are typically allowed to possess firearms. This broad eligibility supports Second Amendment rights and reflects the state's laws that generally favor firearm access for law-abiding citizens. The other choices incorrectly restrict firearm possession. Law enforcement personnel, military members, and individuals with permits are not the only ones allowed to possess firearms under Montana law; rather, these groups may be subject to certain additional regulations or requirements, but they do not represent the full spectrum of eligible individuals.
