Some laws in Montana are outdated and don’t reflect modern living in the state. Since becoming a state in 1889, Montana has seen significant changes, but some laws remain strange and outdated. For example, it is illegal to flick a booger into the wind in Whitehall or honk your horn in front of a sandwich shop at 9:00 p.m.
Montana has some weird laws, such as not being allowed to raise pet rats within Billings city limits or use a lasso to catch a fish. Other strange laws include not being able to bring a horse or pack mule into a bar or give a beer to a fish. The state also bans certain license plate combinations that may be offensive or misleading.
Despite its quirks, Montana remains a state where residents prefer the simple life. While some laws may seem odd, they add to the unique charm of the Treasure State. If you know of any other strange laws in Montana, share them on our station app.
