Wyoming Legislature Passes Bill for Concealed Carry in Schools, Awaits Governor's Decision

The bill, which also applies to government meetings and certain college areas, could significantly alter gun regulations in the state.

A bill allowing concealed carry of firearms in schools and government meetings has passed the Wyoming state Legislature and is now awaiting the governor's decision.
The bill, if signed into law, would permit concealed firearms in schools, government meetings, and some areas of colleges without serving alcohol, while maintaining bans in jails, courts, and hospitals.
Wyoming's Governor Mark Gordon, a Republican and gun rights supporter, has not publicly stated his position on the bill.
The bill passed the state Senate with a 22-8 vote after being revived in a procedural vote, and earlier cleared the state House with a 54-7 vote.
Critics of the bill argue it undermines local governance and has not been widely requested by teachers or students.
