Tomorrow, the Montana House of Representatives is scheduled to consider and vote on House Bill 494 on third reading. Please contact your state Representative and politely urge them to support House Bill 494 when it comes up for a vote.
Sponsored by state Representative Seth Berglee, HB 494 would allow law-abiding Montanans to carry a firearm for self-defense while patronizing a restaurant where alcohol is not the primary item of sale. An individual should not be prevented from carrying a firearm for self-defense while dining in a restaurant that serves alcohol. The right to self-defense should not be unnecessarily banned due to the presence of a product that is legally sold in an establishment that is licensed to do so.
Again, please contact your state Representative and urge them to support House Bill 494.
