Critical Time for Second Amendment Bills in the Wyoming Senate!
Please Contact These Senators!
Over the prior four Wyoming Legislative Sessions, GOA has worked with Second Amendment supporters to pass some of America’s best Second Amendment legislation including a Repeal of Gun Free Zones in schools and most government buildings, a Second Amendment Protection Act (which includes criminal penalties) to reduce local cooperation with federal gun control, and strong laws that stop local governments from having gun control.
As we promised a few days ago, GOA is on track to expand our Rights even further in the 2026 Wyoming Legislative Session, and we have great news to report!
This past Saturday, 4 GOA-backed pro-Second Amendment bills passed the Wyoming House and moved to the Wyoming Senate.
These bills will lower the required age to 18 for concealed carry permits (HB096) and increase protections against Red Flag Laws (HB0098).
Furthermore, HB0095 would establish Constitutional Carry at Colleges and Universities. This is an expansion of last year’s Repeal of Gun Free Zones which enabled firearms carry at Colleges and Universities with a Wyoming Concealed Carry Permit.
Firearms carry at K-12 Schools will still require a Wyoming Concealed Carry permit in order to comply with federal laws.
Finally, HB0130 will add a civil process to Wyoming’s existing Second Amendment Protection laws that GOA helped pass in 2022. The 2022 law made the enforcement of unconstitutional federal gun control a crime under Wyoming criminal statutes. If HB0130 passes, citizens will also have a clear path to sue for civil damages, which can be enforced against those agencies. This is a huge deterrent to local cooperation with federal gun control because of the potential impact on an agency’s budget!
