Gentleman, after going back and researching the laws again I stand corrected.
Although I would have bet money that I had this or read it some where.
So since I couldn't find this ether I ask my Sheriffs department.
Comes to find out that the AZ permit will be reorganized until it expires.
at that time you will be expected to get your MT CWP if you want.
Even with the AZ permit you will need to follow MT law. the following is the response I received from the YCSO.
Darren,
In response to your question, the philosophy of Yellowstone County Sheriff Jason Bell, is that the party may use their out of state permit here in Montana (provided it is recognized by the State), until it expires when at such time they should apply for a Montana conceal carry permit. Of course we would like them to be familiar with all laws pertaining to conceal carry weapons here in Montana, so as not to violate them. You are still accountable for adhering to our laws, with or without the Montana CCWP.

As a side note, with a AZ permit you are not exempted from NICS when purchasing a firearm, as you would be with a MT CWP.
I would still recomend getting your MT CWP as soon as you can.
