Wyoming House Bill 125 is on the way to Governor Mark Gordon. Two Wyoming State Senators (Bouchard and Biteman) were instrumental in passing a ban on Red Flag gun seizures (SF – 109) and the removal of gun free zones (HB 125). They give an explanation of how they passed the bills in an 8-minute video. Senator Biteman reports the last time a similar bill passed, in 2017, the former governor, Matthew Hansen Mead (R), vetoed the bill.
People who have a concealed carry permit recognized under Wyoming statute 6-8-104(a) (ii) (35 states, and people who meet the Wyoming state permit requirements) will be immune from the ban on carrying in public schools, public colleges, and university athletic events which do not sell alcohol. Students of elementary or secondary schools are excluded from this section. The bill further prohibits any regulation by entities other than the legislature of the state of Wyoming on the following:
“sale, transfer, purchase, delivery, taxation, manufacture, ownership, transportation, storage, use, carrying or possession of firearms, weapons, accessories, components or ammunition except as specifically provided by this chapter.”
HB 125 has gone through some remarkable legislative gymnastics before being sent to Governor (R) Mark Gordon. The bill was introduced on February 7, 2024. It was given a “Do Pass” recommendation by the House Judiciary Committee on February 22. The bill passed a third reading of the House on February 27, 2024, 54-7-1.

Governor Mark Gordon has until Saturday to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to become law. 55 bills are awaiting Governor Gordon's decisions.
Good, less safe working spaces for criminals and psychos that the Democrats want.
Those signs which read, “Gun Free Zone” are interpreted by shooters as, “No One Here Is Armed. Kill at your Leisure. Good Hunting. The Management.”
Especially with violent gangs from all over South America, Central America and Mexico arriving here daily.
I want to move back to Wyoming...
“gun free zones” in wyoming, of all places? struggling to think of an analogy for this...tollbooths in the desert, maybe?
I’ve been trying to save to leave my state for a long while. Wyoming and Texas top my list, but I have friends in Florida and Arizona who can offer me a place to stay while I continue to save up.
