Wyoming House Votes YES on Firearms Protection Act, 46-13

In response to current threats from the Federal Government on banning firearms, firearms accessories and ammunition, States are beginning to take action to hold the Federal Government to its constitutional limits under the 2nd Amendment. “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

Wyoming Rep. Kendell Kroeker has sponsored and introduced HB0104. the Firearms Protection Act. Representatives Baker, Burkhart, Jaggi, Miller, Piiparinen, Reeder and Winters and Senators Dockstader and Hicks have co-sponsered this bill.

Today, HB104 passed the full state house by a vote off 46-13.

Wyoming’s Firearms Protection Act, is “an act relating to firearms; providing that any federal law which attempts to ban a semi-automatic firearm or to limit the size of a magazine of a firearm or other limitation on in this state shall be unenforceable in Wyoming; providing a penalty; and providing for an effective date.” This act nullifies all federal laws made after Jan. 1, 2013.

It's awesome to see such resounding support for the Act.

and with Wyoming just opening up some large animal hunting to AR calibers, I think they sent the message. The message is ARs are for hunting as well and the FED can f off.

I need to move to wyoming

if our house closes this month like its supposed to, we are moving to Wyoming. We are looking at a little over 1000 acre place right now. We just need the money from the house to make the offer.

I hope it works out for you. I check job postings up there daily hoping that something opens up.

When did this happen? Source? I'm assuming you mean 5.56/.223 by 'AR calibers', since things like .308, 6.8, 7.62x39, etc. have all been legal and you can get ARs chambered for those rounds.

What part of the great state?

niobrara county.

the least populated county in Wyoming. Wyoming is the least populated state in the Union.

My kind of place.

please please please let my house close. I worry about it falling through. I hope not.

I have 141 acres here. But, its too small and Colorado has turned in the last 20 years and not for the better.

Sure is nice there, you will see plenty of trucks heading to SD but probably not anymore than Weld County. I would sure like to get back to Wyo if I can find work in my line. Platte county sure is nice when the wind doesn't blow.

Resurrecting this to give an update on this bill:
It has passed the Senate Committee and is on it's way to the Senate for a full vote- it's expected to pass... I am really liking the idea of moving up there now!

SO how long until Wyoming begins complaining that they are becoming Colorado North?

The locals already call Coloradans "a bunch of greenies."

already been talking to a realtor up there.......

I'm looking at applying to UW in Laramie... So far I've read they're pretty Veteran friendly. [Beer] With that BAH included in my GI Bill I might not have to worry about getting that good of a job just yet! *nod to Jim*

For all you guys looking toward WY, be careful. Won't be long before you'll all be called cowards running from "the fight".

I'm in Douglas, Wyoming right now. No way I could live up here. About the only places in Wyoming I would even consider are Casper or maybe Cody.

So be it... I can't go to school unarmed in a city like Denver (applied to UCD and Metro- both Auraria campus). I anticipate that 1226 will pass, so I just figure I'll go to school where they have no problem with someone packing.

Another CO native here planning on a move to WY... It's a shame to see where the state is heading. Certainly, while we're here, I'm fighting like crazy. But there's a time coming where we'll see some big "show downs" between the feds and certain states and I'd rather be part of a state that ends up being a stronghold for freedom. No state is perfect (more than enough politicians that prefer to control folks to go around...) but unfortunately, the mess in CO is a result of a lot of factors including a well organized and financed attempt to change the state by the left.

The Auraria campus, eh? Get ready for constant email notifications about attacks, robberies, and rapes on campus. Used to be a daily event two years ago when I was attending. Always some report of people getting mugged or beaten on or near campus. Better learn some judo or carry a small knife or something....

Time to move to Wyoming. A bonus is no fart sucker laws either. AKA emmissions.

This applies to ALL posts made since December. [facepalm]

On a related note, New Mexico has a similar bill in the works right now, HB 114. I just found out about it two days ago while reading the Fiscal Impact Report for HB 77 (modified to be only background checks at gun shows; originally was all sales require background checks) and HB 402 (restrict assault weapons and mag capacities).

More info here on HB 114

Sad thing, is that HB114 was introduced on the same day that HB 77 was, and HB 77 has already made it through the House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee, and is currently sitting in the Senate Public Affairs Committee.

I'm not a huge fan of Laramie but it does score 134 on the City-Data.com crime index. The US average is 307 and the higher the number, the more crime that has occurred. Denver scores a 370.

Wyoming, I could get used to more wind......
