Id been so wrapped up in my own issues that I overlooked this gem, which was reminded to me by ,Rawles over at SurvivalBlog:
HELENA — Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a major ‘constitutional carry’ bill Thursday that will let Montanans carry concealed firearms in public settings including banks and bars without a permit, in addition to limiting university system officials’ ability to restrict firearm possession on college campuses.
…
“Our Second Amendment is very clear: The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” Gianforte said at a bill signing ceremony Thursday afternoon. “Every law-abiding Montanan should be able to defend themselves and their loved ones.”
….
The university system provisions of the new law take effect June 1. Its other provisions are effective immediately.
Just so. I know someone close the the governor and I’m going to ask him to pass along my thanks to our reporter-thumping chief executive. Lets see if he can keep the momentum up.
wish had it here, those are the places that we can’t
Hey, Gov. Abbott; THIS!
A great big DITTO, CC. We all thought constitutional carry had a chance after Straus’ Bonnen’s sorry asses finally left. Just another reason to not vote for Abbott or Patrick again.
Be careful about these laws to read the actual law, especially if you travel to other states that purport CC laws. Some states have limited it — to just their residents. Some have other exemptions. Some stop cities from making their own restrictions and some don’t. Another patchwork mess.
Also revisit your knife carry laws. Some states had the good sense to figure out that if we let ppl carry guns why are we restricting knives…..and removed most restrictions.
I’m amazed it’s taken so long for Montana.
Texas is purple rapidly turning away from old Texas just as Colorado is now overrun and ruled by Denver. It’ll be a miracle if CC happens in Texas.
This reminded me to get my order in for my 2021 copy of Traveler’s Guide to the Firearm Laws of the Fifty States (www.gunlawguide.com/). Anyone who drives across ANY state lines with a firearm NEEDS this book. I get the updated copy every year.
You are definitely behind the curve, both Arkansas and MO have constitutional carry, but as mentioned, you need your concealed carry permit to carry in other states. Bout time you joined the club!
