How buying a gun in Glasgow works

Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Montana law allows.

Montana does not require a state permit to purchase, a firearm registration or a waiting period. When you buy from a licensed dealer you fill out federal Form 4473 and show a current government photo ID, and the dealer runs the check through the FBI's NICS system, since Montana is not a point-of-contact state. Federal law sets the age limits at the dealer counter: 21 for a handgun and 18 for a rifle or shotgun. You must not be a prohibited person under state or federal law. Your FFL may charge a transfer fee, so ask before you order.

Carrying a gun in Valley County

Since 2021 Montana law lets anyone who is eligible to possess a firearm under state or federal law carry concealed without a permit (MCA 45-8-316). Open carry is also lawful for eligible adults. The Valley County Sheriff still issues concealed weapon permits to residents 18 and older with six months of Montana residency and proof of a safety course; state law sets the fee at $50, valid for five years. A permit helps when you travel to states that honor it and in restricted government buildings. Carry is still barred in school buildings and in federal facilities.
