I certainly hope that more states follow Montana's lead on this.
That would be a sight to see!!

The difference being, RKBA is a protected "right" by both state and fed constitutions.
That is why guns were selected as the vehicle for this legislation.
in the Medical Marijuana case they ruled it would have an impact on the trade in illegal marijuana in other states.

I heard the US Attorney out of Billings say this law probably would stand in a Federal court. Of course, he said this long before it became law.

I hope the law stands, but I suspect that many at the Federal level are getting worried about the rising tide of states rights issues. Governments don't willingly relinquish power. The enumerated powers hasn't stopped a vast Federal bureaucracy pushing its way into every facet of American life.

That would be a sight to see!! Alaska has one in the works too, but the legislative session has ended and I haven't found out if it passed the senate. It blew through the house with little opposition.
