Hey guys, i just moved to Montana from Washington.
I'm a little disappointed by the 6 month residency requirement to obtain an MT concealed weapons permit. I've got a WA permit which is recognized by MT. However, there seems to be some FUD on whether or not it's still recognized once i become an MT resident.

Missoula County Sherif's FAQ claims i need to apply for an MT permit, but i couldn't find a law backing this up. Legally, couldn't i just continue to use my WA permit indefinitely?
45-8-329 Makes no distinction whether an out-of-state permit holder is a resident or not.
So, is my WA permit still recognized as an MT resident or am i screwed out of a concealed carry permit for the next 6 months?
Is there anything else i should know?
