Mont. Crim. Jury Instr. 8-101(a) (2022)
Issues In Carrying a Concealed Firearm
To convict the Defendant of Carrying a Concealed Firearm, the State must prove the following elements:
1. That the Defendant carried or bore upon [his] [her] person a firearm;
AND
2. That the firearm was wholly or partially covered by the Defendant’s clothing or wearing apparel;
AND
3. That the Defendant was ineligible to possess a firearm under state or federal law;
[AND
4. That the Defendant acted purposely or knowingly.]
If you find from your consideration of the evidence that all of these elements have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then you should find the Defendant guilty.
If, on the other hand, you find from your consideration of the evidence that any of these elements has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt then you should find the Defendant not guilty.
