Montana has a state pre-emption law, whereas only the state can set firearm laws.

State Preemption of local restrictions?

Yes M.C.A 45-8-351

Complete state preemption of firearms laws except localities may regulate the carrying of concealed or openly carried firearms to a public assembly, a publicly owned building, a park under its jurisdiction or a school. Localities may also regulate the possession of firearms by felons, minors, illegal aliens, or the mentally incompetent.
