Prohibit local governments from enacting red flag gun laws
This bill prohibits Montana local governments from enacting or enforcing extreme risk protection orders, commonly known as red flag laws, which temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a risk to themselves or others. It also bars localities from accepting state or federal funds designated for implementing such orders and establishes a $10,000 civil penalty for violations. The legislation defines these orders as court directives aimed at reducing firearm-related risks by restricting firearm possession or requiring surrender of weapons, while explicitly excluding standard domestic violence restraining orders. Additionally, the bill amends state law to clarify that local governments cannot exercise powers affecting the right to keep or bear arms.
