This passed through committee basically intact. The biggest change is that it is now a misdemeaner instead of a felony for a federal official to attempt to enforce laws contrary to this, and the committee also established restrictions, such as age an mental competency, on the purchase of Wyoming made firearms.

The concealed carry without a permit law also passed committee, once again with out major changes.

This thread has a report from a local paper: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2453393/posts

This committee was the biggest hurdle in the House; Chairman Gingery is a bit of a RINO from the liberal side of the state (Jackson). However since it cleared, it should be smooth sailing in the House. I am not sure what reception either of these bills will get in the Senate; they don’t like to rock the boat.
