HELENA – Montana-made guns may form the basis for a court showdown over states' rights if the governor signs a bill to release some firearms in the state from federal regulation.
The proposed law aims to exempt firearms, weapons components and ammunition made in Montana and kept in Montana from federal gun laws. Since the state has few gun laws of its own, the legislation would allow some gunowners and sellers in the state to skirt registration, licensing requirements and background checks entirely...

Too bad the Supreme Court long ago held that a single farmer growing feed for his own pigs, for his own consumption, with no connection to interstate commerce whatsoever, was nonetheless subject to federal regulation. The rationale was that if every farmer stopped selling grain in interstate commerce, commerce would be affected . . .
Depends on how much you want to pay for heat.
re: Eastern Montana in the summertime
Exactly what day in August is that? I’ve forgotten.
LOL!
A house with a furnace and functioning thermostat.
“”Good for Montana; enforce the 2nd and 10th amendment.””
While lots of folks are wondering, “Where on earth can we go?” - who would think it might be right here in our own country? No other country made any sense so maybe this is the answer.
Enough climate stats to make ya puke right here:

Just click on a red dot. ;-)
No kidding.
No.
I mean like some kinda retaliation from obama that makes everything stricter. Like no more build your own firearms. Period.
Montana Poised to Buck Federal Gun Control
God Bless you Montana.
Honor the traditions our Country was founded on.
Honor and stand up for the US Constitution.
Protect your citizens rights even when the Federal Goverment refuses to or tries to take those rights away.
Well, technically, that isn’t “bucking” federal regs as most of them at least pretend to deal with interstate related issues.
I don’t care about warm (various forms of fire tend to produce warm) but where is there any work?
Then please explain why the people of Montana have elected two RATs to the United States Senate.
But if they’ve already repudiated the other federal regs, why would they comply with that one either? Or did you mean you’re worried for those of us in the more sheeplified states?
Does Montana manufacture many firearms in state?
I believe you are referring to the two Democratic Senators that just put the squeeze on the DoD to lift the restrictions on surplus military brass sales. My Republican Senator didn't respond. Come to think of it, the GOA didn't respond either, at least not so the members could tell. God bless those two "RATs"!
Speaking as someone to the south of MT, but only barely, here is your answer:
No, there are no warm places in Montana. There are only “cold” and “slightly less cold.”
The cold, I’d bet you could get used to.
The wind... I’m not so sure.
Because the GOP had two fiscal spendthrifts in office. The people decided they had enough of pork and trading in pork, so they bounced out the two Republicans.
Jon Tester has been one of the most coherent and fiscally conservative senators on the Finance committee throughout this banking melt-down. I’ve yet to see a GOP senator on the committee make as much sense. THAT is why the GOP is losing these seats.
There are more gunsmiths in Montana than you can shake a stick at.
There’s companies making reproductions of Sharps, Ballard, and other 19th century rifles, custom modern bolt guns, high-end hunting arms, barrels, actions, you name it.
