Montana HB809 prohibits local governments from enacting red flag gun laws.

Montana HB809 prohibits local governments from enacting, adopting, or implementing any resolution, ordinance, rule, regulation, or policy that would enforce an extreme risk protection order against a resident of the state.

The bill also prohibits local governments from accepting grants or funding for these orders.
