WY. House To Vote On Permitless CCW Bill

Wyoming residents would be able to carry concealed guns without a permit under a bill that’s set for a hearing before a legislative committee.

The House Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee is scheduled to hear the bill on Wednesday morning.

The bill is sponsored by Casper Republican Senator Kit Jennings and already has cleared the Senate.

If the bill ultimately becomes law, Wyoming would join Alaska, Arizona and Vermont as states that don’t require citizens to have permits to carry concealed weapons.

Supporters of the Wyoming bill say the state and federal constitutions guarantee the people’s right to carry guns. They also say criminals commonly disregard gun laws.-[source]
