Concealed weapons law hits streets Friday

By Lindsey Erin Kroskob

CHEYENNE -- Starting Friday, Wyoming will join three other states in allowing individuals to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

Anyone who meets the same requirements to obtain a Wyoming concealed weapons permit can legally carry a firearm in any place that is not specifically prohibited.

The change comes in the wake of the last legislative session, in which the bill passed the House in a 49-9 vote.

"It's a real responsibility, and potentially taking someone's life can't be taken lightly," Greg Malatesta said after attending the Cheyenne Police Department's informational class about the law change Tuesday night. "It's good to see that a lot of people did show up and that they had so many that they needed a second class."....

Good for the Wyomingites. A small amount of pearl-clutching in the comments section, but not very much.


At least no one was so churlish as to point out that Cheyenne has a lower violent crime rate than similarly sized cities in

(legally) concealed-weapon safe Illinois...

I expect to read of at least three dozen CCW-caused fatalities statewide by next week.

[Common Sense Party]

9. Who would want a firearm "up their rear"? Is this some form of

concealed carry that you have invented? You may be doing something incorrectly...
