Question: 1 / 400

Can non-residents purchase a handgun in Montana?

Yes, from both dealers and private sellers

No, it is prohibited

Yes, but only from private sellers

Non-residents are allowed to purchase handguns in Montana, but this is specifically limited to private sellers. This means that while it is permissible for non-residents to acquire a handgun through a private transaction, they cannot do so through licensed dealers. In the case of private sales, federal laws must still be observed, although Montana does not impose additional restrictions that apply solely to private transactions.

Purchasing from licensed dealers typically involves more stringent requirements, including background checks, which does not apply in the same way to private sales. Thus, the correct choice highlights the nuance in Montana law that permits non-residents to buy a handgun, albeit limited to private sellers rather than through a dealer.
