Where do you look first if you have any questions about current Montana gun laws?

The State of Montana’s Frequently Asked Firearms Questions Page has not been updated yet since one of our most pro-gun legislative sessions we’ve had in decades what with the passage by voters of LR-130 and passage of pro-gun bills like HB102, HB258 and several others. Hopefully they’ll get around to it because it’s historically been the best. The best current resources I am quickly able to find are at The NRA-ILA and at Frontier Carry. Find both of those resources embedded below.

John Lott of Missoula with The Crime Prevention Research Center discusses a variety of issues on CSPAN including the recent hoax commencement he was invited to in Las Vegas by the gun control lobby. He also discusses major faults with background checks, de-funding police, low conviction rates and how the Biden administration addressing “gun violence”, only 10% of crime, is a failure. He also takes questions from call in listeners. 41 minutes.

If you don’t like the weather in Montana, wait fifteen minutes or drive fifteen miles. Not that weather stops us anyways when we’re on a gun trade mission. But it is nice to know whether you should take extra firewood, ammo and a set of chains or not. Check the radar from National Weather Service for Montana before you go.

Train Daily with the gun you plan to carry or at least one very similar!

With the unprecedented ammo shortages we have now in 2021, shooters serious about keeping their skills tuned in have transitioned most, if not all of their range time, to dry fire training and systems like the Mantis X Dry Fire Training System & Training Aids for Home & Range Use.

Many might now say what they thought was a ridiculous, unnecessary, or even worst feature of a striker fired handgun, being a double strike or re-strike capable, has quickly become a favorite when racking a slide three hundred times with their Glock slows down training because it hurts!

One of the best guns for the money in my opinion, especially for price and availability and considering it’s close similarity to Glock feel and trigger is a Taurus G3C or even the G2C. Both of these cheaper guns, even cheaper than some realistic training guns feature a double strike or re-strike feature. Basically a double action striker fired pistol that you don’t have to rack the slide each time before your next dry fire shot.

After testing the Mantis X2 for strictly dry fire training, I have now purchased and am very happy with the Mantis X Laser Academy Kit to help with shot placement. The Taurus and those like them give us the ability to get more trigger time without tearing our hands up or having to wear one glove just to rack a slide or have to add a charging device like the Recover Tactical Charging Handles For Glocks just to enable easier charging.
