This should not be limited to Wyoming.

I thought that you could only lose your rights...permanently,at least...when convicted of a felony.Is this a Wyoming thing or does it apply nationwide?

This is good to see. People seem to poo-poo misdemeanors when several of them carry serious ramifications on a person's life.

Crofts said people commonly plead guilty thinking that they can pay a small fine and put an incident behind them without realizing that they face the loss of their gun rights.

"There's a dynamic; these kids don't know what they're getting involved in," Crofts said. He said that he believes justice is best served when a defendant has a defense lawyer.

That says it best. Now while I have no use for men who hit women whatsoever, everybody deserves a fair trial, and not everybody is guilty. Anyone accused of any misdemeanor or felony needs to know and understand the consequences of what happens if he is found guilty and needs to use their rights to remain silent and lawyer up.

With a new administration probably about to engage in some serious political overreach on many fronts, I thought a Second Amendment Special was about due, IMHO.
