Montana Title 45. Crimes § 45-8-375. Predicate exception limitation

(1) The predicate exception under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, 15 U.S.C. 7901, et seq., may not be interpreted broadly.  A claim may only proceed if the specific statute cited as being violated:

(2) General state consumer protection laws or public nuisance laws may not be considered as statutes applicable to the sale or marketing of firearms or ammunition for the purposes of the predicate exception.

(3) A broad interpretation of the predicate exception, which could effectively replace the law by allowing general statutes to circumvent the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, 15 U.S.C. 7901, et seq., must be explicitly rejected.
