HELENA – The Montana Supreme Court has ruled the Board of Regents, not the State Legislature, has the sole right to set policy regarding the possession of firearms on the Montana University System property. House Bill 102, passed by the Montana Legislature and signed by Gov. Greg Gianforte last year, made a number of changes expanding where and how someone can carry a gun. In December, a Helena District Judge declared the portion of House Bill 102 dealing with campus firearm policy as unconstitutional.
