Do away with concealed weapons permits?
-
Feb 11, 2010
Rep. Lorraine Quarberg (R-Thermopolis) introduced a bill giving concealed weapon authority to Wyoming residents over the age of 21. This would do away with the current requirement that residents show knowledge of firearm use and register and receive a concealed weapon permit from the state of Wyoming. This proposal changes the standard considerably by making the requirements to carry a concealed weapon limited to “not suffering from a physical infirmity which prevents the safe handling of a firearm,” not being a convicted felon, not being an abuser of controlled substances or alcohol.
This bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee. It is sponsored by Representatives Quarberg, Brechtel, Buchanan, Davison, Diercks, Gingery, Illoway, Jaggi, Semlek, Simpson, Wallis and Zwonitzer, Dn. and Senator(s) Case, Coe, Jennings and Ross.
