Carrying In Wyoming
Wyoming is a Constitutional Carry state. Adults 21+ who are not federally prohibited may carry concealed without a state-issued permit. A permit is still useful for reciprocity in non-Constitutional Carry states. Verify any locality-specific restrictions (transit hubs, schools, federal property).
No state-level magazine capacity restriction. No state-level assault weapon ban. Suppressors are legal for civilian ownership (Form 4 + federal NFA registration required).
