It does not matter where you live, I live in Minnesota and have no problem taking care of a chameleon. There are also many other people in each and every state in the US that have chameleons and do not have issues. It has nothing to do with your state, but it has to do with your husbandry...
Those crickets look to be too big so the sized of your chameleon in the one picture. They should not be bigger than the space between the eyes of the chameleon.
Does Montana only allow concealed carry? Here in Minnesota we can do concealed or open carry. I have my carry permit and usually open carry when I carry at all.

For lots of basic information check out the caresheets, they have all the basic husbandry things of how to take care of a chameleon...
First off, welcome to the forums!
Second, can you get a better picture of the side of your chameleon?
This will get moved by a moderator as it should be in the health section, but let's get as much info as we can for now.
Please fill out the questions in the "How to ask for help" and...
Have you read the caresheet for a veiled? It tells you all about cage sizes. That should be your first place that you look for anything concerning the type of chameleon that you have. If you do not find the answer in that the next step would be asking in the forums here as there are many cham...
The best way to end the debate is to just use a UVB meter. I can tell you my 6% Arcadia through an Reptibreeze XL at 12" puts out around 29 for the UVB. At 4" it puts out around 58.
