Montana CCW

LC1333.pdf (mt.gov)

The last time it was passed by Republican Mt House & Senate but vetoed by Democrat former governor Steve Bullock.

This bill has been processed by and finally passed by the Montana Senate and is now on Governor Gianforte's desk for signature. I emailed the Gov.

Essentially this bill allows permit-less CCW by those permitted to own firearms. Approval/disapproval was apparently done on party lines with the Democrats voting no.

We are really olde and going thru a formal permit process including fingerprints, payment of fees, waiting at the permit site, parking, and navigating city hall would put us at risk for COVID19 - almost a certain death sentence at our age.

This bill is sort of a beacon of light in the usual dark tunnel of government/bureaucratic over-reach to stifle our inalienable rights for self-defense.

When I first got my CCW I think it took less than 2 weeks to have it all approved. The wait time to have the initial appointment with L&C Sherriff's was long though. The renewal process was even simpler. Got an appointment, dropped off my renewal paperwork and was handed a new card in less than 10minutes. Never even had to take my mask off.

It passed! It is law!

Gianforte signs ‘constitutional carry’ gun bill

HB 102 will let Montanans carry concealed firearms without a permit almost anywhere in the state.

Good for Gov. Gianforte - now for some other issues.

Looks like my 1911 will go with me on my daily 1 mile walks - old guy, old gun.
