Damn, I thought this was about a new model of the Keystone Montana RV.

Montana might be a place worth moving to if you are a Republican living in NY/NJ/CA etc to help fortify the state.

IDK, maybe I'm missing something, but this sounds like standard state pre-emption.

A lot of cities in otherwise red states try to pass restrictions on carry.

This measure was introduced as House Bill 357 on January 25, 2019, by Representatives Matt Regier (R-4) and Derek Skees (R-11). It was designed to be sent to voters if an identical bill, House Bill 325, was vetoed by Democratic Governor Steve Bullock.

Seems OK to me, what am I missing?

Legislation looks good to me. Prohibits local governments from passing their own gun prohibitions

Possibility that it passed by only 2 votes versus a wider margin?

Montana's infestation of leftys started MANY decades ago with Ted Turner.
Then the rest of the Hollywood crowd,, then their emotional support staff (CA liberals)
This was about the same time the "Lower economic" liberals were infecting Colorado.
Just in the last decade they have turned their sites on WY.

I see. IDK. I am not sure that means anything. Is this a pro (anti) gun control vote or a pro (anti) local control vote? Hard to say. Imagine for example if counties in MD were allowed to issue carry permits (like CA and NY) instead of the state of MD pre-emtping. I would totally vote to remove state preemption in that case. State pre-emption can go either way depending what you think the state legislature will do.

If Bloomberg is for it, I'm against it.

Another place where Bloomberg bucks were spent was in Montana trying to defeat LR-130, a ballot measure to prevent local jurisdictions from enacting gun control laws that are more strict than those at the state level (AKA, preemption). While the vote was close — the margin was just under 11,000 votes — the preemption law passed.

Curious- I thought Montana was constitutional carry everywhere outside of city limits. Does this essentially make them constitutional carry or was that just a state law already?
