Montana
Montana has weak gun laws and the 11th highest rate of gun deaths in the country. The state does not require gun owners to get a permit to carry concealed weapons in public, nor does it run background checks on firearm purchasers. In the last few years, the Montana legislature has attempted to weaken its laws even further. They've done this, for example, by introducing bills that would allow more guns in schools.
To become a safer state, Montana can strengthen its background checks, enact an Extreme Risk law, and prohibit domestic abusers from purchasing or possessing a firearm.
