Has the MT AG issued an opinion on this question ?
If so ? Is the MT AG opinionposted on the MT AG web site as is other MT AG opinions ?
If a case of this nature went to court, do you think this thread of postings or even if the individuals posting on this threadtestified in court saying the MT AG said this and that, would stand up in the court of law and you would be found not guilty ? Are you willing to be the test case with a disagressing Chief of Police, Sheriff, and/or County Attorney based on this thread postings ?
As another MT Citizen posted the MT Carbon County Sheriffand another individual I know says the same about MT Yellowstone County Sheriff, "concealed carry" not legal in the bar area or any other portion of the establishment but "open carry" is allowed anywhere as long as the owner or manager does not object.
This needs to be fixed in Montana law, hopefully to the extend of other State's, where concealed and open carry is legal nearly everywhere including public buildings, bars, etc - the next opportunity is in 2011, the main objectors will be MT AG and the Montana Sheriff and PeaceOfficer Association, same as they were against HB 228 - where they falsely claimthe streets of MT would be rivers of blood, it wasagainst federal law to carry inbanks (which is not federal law but state law), etc .... they are also the biggest block against the 2A in Montana, such as carry in public buildings and on trains (Montana law does not allow carry on trains even though Congress just passed a law where carry on AMTRAK is allowed - MT AG has yet to issue an opinion on this and best guess he will not and Montana have to wait until 2011 for the state wide reps to take action)
Note: Not all Sheriffs and Peace Officers are anti - 2A but many are. Some say they support the 2A but when you listen to them speak, it is their opinion they are mouthing and not the words of the 2A.
Maybe someone will contact the MT AG and request a written opinion / letter on the question of this thread ? then post the MT AG written opinion or letter on this link. Since the MT AG has beenalready made a defacto decision on this matter and does not object then a MT AG written opinion posting should be a piece of cake to get.
I look forward to seeing and reading this MT AG opinion. Charge forthinto battle !!!
