Historic Gun Bills on the Move in Wyoming. Please Contact Your Senator Now!

Over the prior four Wyoming Legislative Sessions, GOA has worked 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, GOA continues to work to expand our Rights even further in the 2026 Wyoming Legislative Session, and we have great news to report!

Last week, four GOA-backed pro-Second Amendment bills passed the full Wyoming House, passed a Senate Committee, and now go to the Senate Floor. A fifth bill passed the Wyoming Senate and moved to the House.

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, two nearly identical bills, HB0130 and SF0101, 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 and/or SF0101 pass, citizens will also have a clear path to take agencies to civil court for damages 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!

A weakening amendment was added to HB0130 in a Senate Committee, but we are hopeful we can remove that Amendment on the Senate Floor. Furthermore, SF0101 remains intact as it moves onto what we expect to be a friendly House Floor.

In their entirety, these bills would firmly establish Wyoming as an example for the entire Country when it comes to Second Amendment Rights.

Our current challenge is in the Wyoming Senate. Please click on the attached links and ask your Senators to support these Second Amendment expansions without any weakening Amendments.

Together, by the end of this Legislative Session, we can make Wyoming America’s #1 state for Second Amendment Rights if we pass GOA’s 2026 Wyoming Legislative Agenda.

Stay tuned for more information very soon.

P.S. Please immediately contact the Wyoming Senate and ask them to support House Bills 95, 96, 98, and 130 (with removal of the weakening amendments).
