Concealed Firearm Permits-New Requirements in Wyoming
Original post August 16, 2016 | Updated August 31, 2016
Clarification update from the Sublette County Sheriff’s Office, August 31, 2016: In 2011 the Wyoming Concealed Firearm Permit State Statute was revised which removed the requirement for Wyoming residents that wanted to carry a concealed firearm in the state from having a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm. Therefore, the permit is optional for residents wanting to carry in Wyoming. A permit is required if you cross into another state that recognizes Wyoming permits. There are currently 35 states that honor Wyoming permits to carry concealed. The complete list and map can be found at the DCI website. _______________________________________
