From the Missoulian:
It’s an unusual issue to define the attorney general race. Craig Wilson, a political science professor at Montana State University-Billings, who has studied Montana politics for decades, said he’s never seen gun rights emerge as a pivotal issue in the attorney general race.
As a political strategy, it could drum up support in certain circles, Wilson said, and identify Fox early on as “the gun group guy” in a race where neither candidate has much statewide name recognition.
But, Wilson said, it may not be enough to seal a Fox victory.
“I don’t know that a single issue like that is enough to put somebody over the top,” he said.
