Most Heavily-Armed County In Montana Is Also Top 20 In America

What Is The Most Heavily-Armed County In Montana?

Guns and gun ownership is a pretty touchy subject and a very divisive one as well.

In Montana, however, I don't think it matters if you are left or right, red or blue, Democrat or Republican; you probably own a gun or two. Even if you don't own one, you probably know someone who does.

To be fair here, I don't own a gun currently. I did have shotguns and rifles growing up, and I enjoy going target practice shooting.

I also support the second amendment, like the majority of Montana residents. I've heard it joked about that "If you go far enough left, you get your guns back."

Another quote about guns made me wonder what the percentage of gun ownership in Montana was. The quote is "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

I was shocked when I searched out this answer and found that only one Montana county ranked in the top 101 counties for guns kept in the home.

So, what county in Montana has the highest percentage of firearms kept around their home?

Yellowstone County

With 48.7% of households keeping guns in or around their house, Yellowstone county ranks #15 in America.

I am still shocked that this is the only county in Montana to make the list. Especially considering the 101st-ranked county sits at 29.2%.
