Montana Governor Says He Will Veto Constitutional Carry Bill

Gov. Steve Bullock indicated Thursday he's going to veto a bill that would allow anyone who legally owns a gun in Montana to carry a concealed weapon, without a permit.

House Bill 262, sponsored by Rep. Bill Harris, R-Winnett, passed the Senate on Wednesday and is on its way to the governor's desk.

At his weekly meeting with Capitol reporters, Bullock said Thursday he'll "take a close look" at the bill before deciding, but that if it's the same concealed-weapon bill he vetoed in 2013 and 2015, he'd have the same problems with it.

Harris' HB262 is identical to the bills Bullock vetoed in the previous two sessions.

Each bill says anyone who can legally possess a handgun in Montana cannot be required to have a permit, to carry a concealed weapon.
