On 18 February 2021, Governor Greg Gianforte signed Montana HB102 into law. The bill is the largest, most comprehensive reform of Montana gun laws in the history of the state. A previous AmmoLand article discussed the details of the law.
Many of the reforms in the law have been sought for decades, but have been thwarted by Montana Governors. Democrat Governors vetoed Constitutional Carry bills three times in the last 15 years.
In 2021, Governor Gianforte said he was looking forward to signing HB102 on February 4th, in an interview on KGVO.com:
“There are a number of pieces of legislation moving through the Montana legislature,” said Gianforte. “I’m looking forward to getting them on my desk. One of those bills is HB 102, which would provide for constitutional carry here in the state. I’m looking forward to signing that bill, and if there are attempts to infringe on our state’s rights as it relates to our constitutional rights, know that I will work side by side with our Attorney General to oppose any of those efforts.”
HB102 passed the legislature on the 9th of February and was sent to Governor Gianforte on 11 February. A week later, on 18 February, the bill was signed in a video-recorded ceremony.
When a governor publicly signs a right to keep and bear arms bill, it indicates they actually support it, rather than are ashamed of it.
Montana becomes the 18th State to restore Constitutional Carry. Constitutional Carry is a reasonable approximation of a return to the state of law when the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791. At that time, no permits were required to carry arms

I would like to have lived in Montana
Hunt for Red October... great movie.
I wish they would all do it.
“I would like to have lived in Montana”
Still time to move, or at least visit!
We’d love to have you!
The day we (formally) moved to Idaho was the first day of Constitutional Carry here. These states all need to be working on reciprocity agreements.
Come on in before its too late.
Just sold our house and moving the entire fam to Montana this summer. We are very excited.
Hopefully, this will be a catalyst for all the liberals that have moved into the state to start thinking about where they want to live and move back to where they came from.
An Army buddy of my nephew is from Montana. Seems that the folks are getting very, very tired of the liberal migration and made a concerted effort to rid the state and local government of as many out-of-state liberals as they could. Now, if they can just get rid of Tester, things might turn around.
Welcome to the Redoubt.
Far more liberals have phobias about openly carried guns conservatives do.
Exactly!
Tester is a boil on the rear end of Montana. sadly we gotta wait 4 more years before we can throw the bum out. Only good thing is that xiden policies will hang on him like an anchor.
Are there big American girls in Montana?
I hope that is what drives them back to Cali. And I don’t even live in Montana but I have a friend that does. And he ain’t too fond of these new neighbors.
Given how gun friendly and solidly conservative the South is, we need a lot more Southern states to adopt constitutional carry. Looking at you North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.
“Are there big American girls in Montana?”
Is this Benny Hill?
Senate material 2024? Testers up.
Welcome to the club. 👍🏻
