Dem Dominated Board of Regents to Block Gun Rights in Montana Thanks to the newly elected governor, huge GOP majorities in the state legislature, and the hard work of groups like the Montana Shooting Sports Association- we've seen some major victories here in Montana when it comes to our gun rights. One of the biggest victories, of course, was HB 102 by Rep Seth. Berglee (R-Joliet), the bill that is described as permitless carry. Some may even refer to it as "constitutional carry." The gun rights bills have the support of the legislature and the governor, but now Democrats are seeking to block those gun rights victories through their liberal buddies on the Democrat-dominated Board of Regents, and through the liberal majority on the Montana Supreme Court.
