Luckily we prevailed and passed HB102 | Permitless Concealed Carry without them. Read Gary’s letter about tactics used by Dudley Brown and his minions. Find below Gary’s emails sent on January 10th of 2021 after they literally tried to sabotage and then take credit for yet another of our bills to get your donations.

Dear MSSA Friends,

I want to alert you to a nefarious and opportunistic entity. The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) has several times in the past claimed sole credit for MSSA’s successes, attempting to raise funds for their founder, Dudley Brown, by pirating our successes.

NAGR has launched a major fundraising campaign claiming that MSSA’s HB 102 has been highjacked by unspecified anti-gun forces and, to rescue it, NAGR is desperate for donations. That’s a lie, of course. HB 102 has NOT been highjacked, although NAGR does seem desperate. This lie is all about fundraising for NAGR, its only mission (they only pretend to care about the RKBA because they’ve learned they can get fearful gun owners to part with bucks with a panicky claim that the RKBA sky is falling).

In advancing this fundraising campaign, NAGR is doing its level best to confuse Montana legislators about HB 102, and confuse gun owners. Don’t fall for that. MSSA, the NRA, the NSSA, GOA, and the CCRKBA are all squarely behind HB 102, and all view NAGR with contempt.

In order to dispel some of the confusion NAGR is deliberately spreading, I have developed the graphic below to explain how HB 102 would affect carrying firearms in bars and restaurants. I admit that HB 102 doesn’t go quite as far as some would like, because it doesn’t allow unpermitted CCW in bars and restaurants with liquor licenses. It does make progress – it advances the ball down the field to another first down. We looked at allowing unpermitted CCW in bars for this bill, but decided that would invoke too much political opposition and would threaten the other yardage gained in the bill – that is, insisting on that extra gain would likely kill the whole bill and we’d get nothing.

Yes, that’s a political call, but it’s my call, and I’m the guy who has the experience of getting 68 pro-gun bills through the Legislature and enacted into law. As far as I know, NAGR has accomplished absolutely nothing positive for the RKBA.

So, here is the explanatory graphic. Feel free to redistribute this.

Best wishes,
—

The new events system is intended to give our current 8043 Montana Gun Trader Members the ability to post local events online for free. Other members can make commitments to attend or show interest in your event. Visit to see events posted so far or log in to post an event on the Events Page. Just like Classifieds, the system automatically generates a post made by you on the Home Stream. Where only other logged in members can view, react and comment. Try it out and tell us what you think about the events system in the comments below this post.

While keeping us up to date on new events, the new Events System at Montana Gun Trader also creates latest event RSS Feeds.

Each event category displays an RSS feed link when a category is selected on the Events Home Page. That rss feed can be used to subscribe by email or your favorite feed reader and be used in systems such as WordPress rss widgets and plugins to get you free content for your website. Visitors who use your website can easily be shown the latest Montana Gun Shows in this example below. And you get free, fresh, local content to help your local SEO!

If you have any questions about using any of the rss feeds from this website for classifieds, events or blog posts, please send me a message or use the contact form in the footer.

Facebook has blocked me and countless others for sharing a meme with Kyle Rittenhouse walking with his AR-15 during the Kenosha riots on the MontanaGuns.Org Facebook Page.

The meme simply states “I trust Kyle Rittenhouse with a gun more than I trust Alec Baldwin”. They claim it goes against their community standards.

Luckily we have sites like Montana Gun Trader and Firearms Friendly to share content like this without concern for being banned. Find these made in Montana websites and more ranked amongst their 40+ peers at MontanaGuns.Org.

I have completely lost track of how many times I’ve been blocked, 20+ easily.

How many times have you been blocked at Facebook?
