This is an unusual twist on the Supreme Court case D.C. v Heller.

If the Supreme Court rules in DC v Heller that the 2nd Amendment is a collective right and not an individual, this will violate the Compact that Montana entered into with the United States when it became a state.

WHEREAS, with authority from Congress acting as agent for the several states, President Benjamin Harrison approved the Montana Constitution in 1889, which secured the right of "any person" to bear arms, clearly intended as an individual right and an individual right deemed consistent then with the Second Amendment by the parties to the contract;

Montana might have several remedies of which one would allow them to secede from the Union.

I love living in Texas but I think Montana might not be such a bad place either.
