Specifically, Legislative Referendum 130 asks voters to remove local governments’ power to regulate the carrying of concealed firearms – or to restrict the open carry o...
Marijuana is back on the ballot — the third time in the last five election cycles — but this year Montanans will decide for the first time whether to follow other states like Colorado and Washington in legalizing use for all adults. The issue comes in the form of complementary ballot initiatives I-190 and CI-118. I-190 creates the rules for a recreational marijuana system in Montana, including a 20% tax. It also allows each county the option to prohibit dispensaries in their county. CI-118 would amend the Montana Constitution to allow the state...
In 1909 - 101 years ago this past September 4th — on the windswept plains of Saskatchewan, Canada, two children of homesteaders had reached adulthood amid the raging blizzards, searing summers, and other challenges of trying to tame the wilds of the North American west.

I enjoy watching large snowflakes fall. I enjoy a cup of hot cocoa or apple cider during the cold days. Sometimes, I even enjoy a nice Christ...
