WY Senate Approves Permitless CCW Bill

Wyoming residents would be able to carry concealed guns without a state permit under a bill that received preliminary approval in the state Senate.The Wyoming Senate voted 21-to-8 on Thursday in favor of the bill, sponsored by Republican Sen. Kit Jennings of Casper. He says the state and federal constitutions guarantee citizens’ gun rights.Democratic Sen. Chris Rothfuss of Laramie voted against the bill. He says he’s concerned that incompetent people carrying guns will pose a danger to the public.Wyoming would retain its current concealed-carry permit system if the bill passes so people could continue to carry concealed guns in other states that have reciprocal agreements.The Senate must vote on the measure two more times before it heads to the House for debate.-[source]
