The Law Firm of David G. Sigale has prevailed in a lawsuit challenging the enforcement of a Montana state statute barring non-citizens from carrying concealed firearms for self-defense. Sigale obtained a preliminary injunction against the law, which the Montana State Legislature then repealed.

In the case of Lenka Knutson v. Curry, the United State District Court Judge held that the statute violated the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection rights of the Plaintiffs. According to Sigale, “This is yet another example of how arbitrary discrimination against people who are lawfully in the Country, and who are law-abiding and have strong community ties to boot, will continue to be challenged in Court. As in the other cases where this law firm has successfully challenged such discrimination, the Plaintiffs in this case cannot be deprived of equal rights to self-defense.”
