Since July 1, 2021, Wyoming has embraced constitutional carry, allowing any legal U.S. resident aged 21 or older to carry a concealed handgun without a permit, provided they can lawfully possess a firearm. This permitless carry law applies to both residents and non-residents, reflecting Wyoming's strong support for Second Amendment rights. However, individuals should be aware that certain restrictions still apply, particularly in specific locations such as schools and government buildings.

To obtain a Wyoming Concealed Firearms Permit (CFP), applicants must meet specific requirements and follow a structured application process. Eligibility criteria include being a U.S. citizen, residing in Wyoming for at least 6 months (or holding a valid statewide concealed firearm permit from a reciprocating state), and being at least 21 years old1. Applicants must also demonstrate familiarity with firearms through past experience or completion of recognized safety courses1.

The application process involves several steps:

• Complete a firearm training course if required

• Fill out the application form

• Obtain a money order or cashier's check for the fee

• Submit the application to the local sheriff's office

• Get fingerprinted at the sheriff's office

• Have a photo taken at a Wyoming DOT Driver Services office within 5 days

• Wait for notification from the sheriff's office (within 90 days)

While Wyoming's concealed carry laws are permissive, certain restrictions apply to where firearms can be carried. Concealed carry is prohibited in schools and college campuses. Restaurants serving alcohol allow carry in dining areas, but not in bars or bar areas. State and national parks permit carry without a license, though firearm use may be restricted in specific areas. Vehicles allow concealed carry for those 21 and older without a permit. Places of worship also permit carry without a license for individuals 21 and above. It's crucial to note that private property owners have the right to prohibit firearms on their premises, and "No Weapons Allowed" signs are legally enforced in Wyoming1.

Wyoming's firearm regulations include several notable provisions. There is no duty to inform law enforcement about carrying a concealed firearm unless asked1. The state has preemption of firearms laws, preventing local jurisdictions from enacting stricter gun regulations. Unlike some states, Wyoming does not have red flag laws, and there are no restrictions on magazine capacity for handguns. Knife laws are relatively permissive, allowing open carry of any type of knife and concealed carry with a valid weapon permit or for those eligible to hold one1. However, specific restrictions apply to carrying knives in certain locations such as schools, athletic facilities, bars, government meetings, and correctional facilities.
