lobbyist for Wyoming's sheriffs and police chiefs, who said the bill could compromise officer safety.

When oh when will these idiots realize that the bad guys are already carrying.

Oedekoven said the existing permitting process allows officials to check whether someone has a substance abuse problem or other impairment that would preclude them from carrying a hidden gun.

If a person is able to legally purchase & possess a weapon, then they should also automatically be able to legally carry it in any safe manner they choose.

Concealed weapons should not worry anyone; it is the weapon pointed at you that should cause concern.

Committee endorses bill liberalizing concealed weapons law

Take a realllly hard look cause this is the only time you will see those words in that order in one sentence in your whole life.

Hell, most everybody at sometime or the other carries in Wyoming, concealed or not. I lived there for 13 years after we moved down from Alaska. Question of gun laws and such just never came up.

I remember former US Senator Alan Simpson from Cody saying, if a Wyoming politician is not 110% pro gun rights, they couldn't get elected dog catcher.

It's simple and woul save a lot of trouble and hassle: A person may have 3 dimes and 2 pennies, or a pistol in his pocket, and we will deal with the person who is a baddie and/or commits a crimminal act case by case as it may be.

I thought thats what background checks at PURCHASE was supposed to do.
Anyway, WTG Wyoming. Someday, we'll have decent carry law, too.

Man, I love living in Wyoming. :-)

Ewing said when he goes fishing in the Snowy Range, he typically carries a pistol in his backpack because of people he encounters illegally driving off-road vehicles -- people who might have no regard for any laws.

"I carry it because of the two-legged animals up there," he said. "I don't want those folks having a concealed weapons permit."

HAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
He's afraid of people who ignore laws not having to ignore a law!?!? I guess as long as criminals can't get permits there won't be any gun crime.
