Hello,
I don't know if you have a 'Montana Club' restaurant over there or not. I have not eaten in Bozeman very often but the M.C. here in Missoula, Montana does not get upset if you open carry. Most restaurants don't care - nothing has been said to us about OC. I have eaten there with one other person and a group of men after our private 'shooting events' @ Deer Creek - no problem whatever. The last time that I ate there was before Christmas time and there was no problem with open carry folks.
When we head towards Bozeman, we are usually in Livingston with friends, his work and/or on our way for some other travel plans. No open carry problems in Livingston at all.
Gary's book is a good one to read. We know Gary well especially my groom who was born and raised here in Montana. My groom's side = many generations here in Western and NW Montana right below B.C., Canada.
Please try to get involved in the Montana Shooting Sports Association and join up. MSSA is a no nonsense, TRUE, pro gun rights organization. There is a lot going on in the state capitol right now too. Check it out! Thank you.

If you ever get over this way, Deer Creek is a very nice range too.

I don't like to see some people come in and change things (Make them anti gun and tons more.) to make their new place (MT, ID, WY, AK,etc.) like their FORMER state either. I am a 'transplant' widow lady to Montana. Not from CA - good and bad people in ALL places. East coast born/raised and lived in farm/lake country for 30 some years until my late husband died of cancer. The CCW gun laws back there (HIS home state not mine.) were not changed until AFTER I moved out here after his death. That was from a so called 'conservative' state but the former Governor was a Rino and neo con artist. He was just as bad as some of the other anti gunners from the other side.
The ONLY way that we can fight the anti gun agenda is to support who we believe in for a TRUE pro gun organization and do our duty in being active in calls, letters, email letters, etc. That does NOT always work though. The more that people OPEN CARRY which I think should be a national requirement (Ha!) - the more people will get over the LIES and FEARS from seeing, gasp, a GUN.
Sincerely,
