    Asked why he believes the bill passed this time, Byrd responded, "To be honest with you, I think it's some of the newly elected people who are running on this platform of removing all government regulation regardless of the impacts on society. And so I guess, staying consistent with that position, this is just an outcome of those views."

    and what he is REALLY saying is that the Second Amendment rights of the citizens to defend themselves are outweighed by the fears of the politicians of an armed populace.

    Representatives from some Wyoming police groups have testified at committee hearings against allowing concealed carry without a permit. They've said it could encourage dangerous people to carry guns who wouldn't be able to pass a background check under the state's existing concealed-carry permit system.

    So the police groups think NOT passing this law (i.e., NOT following the COTUS) will keep criminals from being criminals? If someone can't pass a background check, there's a reason for it. I'll bet "dangerous people" is not clearly defined in any state statute, i.e., extremely subjective in it's definition and application. They'd be breaking the law either way.

    Either we are citizens or we are subjects....I'll opt for the former and face any challanges that may come with it.

    Bravo Wyoming!!! Colorado will follow suit shortly....

    I also want to know the answer to this question. I travel to 3 of the 4 States and will love to carry for the protection of myself and the others around me.

    I'm under the impression that the state on the East coast will let anyone who is allowed to own, carry. Doesn't matter if you live there or not.

    I understand why the police would be uncomfortable with this, and I would be too if I was a cop, but that doesn't excuse going against it. Hey, I'm uncomfortable with going to work before noon, but I still do it.

    Dude you should be checking with each state not a Colorado centric board. Not that there isn't some pretty good info here, this is one of those, until some drops links to the pertinent portions of the state laws, I wouldn't just take it on faith.

    But hey, here is a great opportunity for you to contribute to the fountain of information! Maybe you could track the info down and post the info and links!

    Not a dumb question at all because it varies and unfortunately this particular bill in Wyoming does NOT extend these rights to visiting non-residents.

    police groups would punch nuns, drown kittens and shake infants in the name of officer safety.
