State Gun Laws

Laws current as of October 21, 2025

I am a victim of domestic violence and the abuser has a gun. Is that legal?

In Montana, a person might not be allowed to have a firearm if they:

  • have been convicted of certain crimes; or
  • have an order of protection against them.

For more information, see I have a temporary or final order of protection against the abuser. Can they have or buy a gun? and If the abuser has been convicted of a crime, can they have or buy a gun?

If neither of those apply to you, see I do not have an order of protection against the abuser, and they have not been convicted of any crimes. Can they have a gun?
