WYOMING ADOPTS PURE FREEDOM OF DEFENSIVE GUN BEARING

WYOMING REPEALS GUN CONTROL LAWS

Wyoming residents were big winners this week when both chambers
the Wyoming Legislature overwhelmingly voted for
a license-free “constitutional” carry bill.

When signed into law, Wyoming will become the fourth state to
recognize license-free carry, joining Alaska, Arizona and Vermont.
Similar bills are under consideration in other states across the
country including Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Utah.

The concept of license-free carry, when residents can legally carry
concealed firearms without licenses, has been gaining popularity
across the country as more people realize that despite their best
intentions, law enforcement cannot be there at the precise moment
a crime occurs to prevent the attack. Furthermore, as state and
local governments wrestle with massive budget shortfalls and are
forced to lay off law enforcement and furlough prisoners, citizens
realize that help will likely arrive later as the odds of a crime
occurring increase.

The NRA has also always believed that there should not be a tax
associated with self-defense and the opportunity to carry a firearm
for self-defense without having to obtain a costly license, especially
during these trying economic times, will be welcomed by many.

The lead sponsors of the Wyoming bill are state Senator Kit Jennings
and Representative Allen Jaggi. The bill now goes to Republican Governor Matt Mead’s desk for his consideration.
