Wyoming is apparently about to become the 4th state to adopt "constitutional carry" which allows anyone not otherwise prohibited from purchasing a gun in the first place to carry a gun concealed.
The bill has passed the legislature, and has been sent to the (Republican) governor. I'm guessing it will be signed.
Amusingly, during the debate phase, some representatives of the law enforcement community objected to it saying it would encourage dangerous people who couldn't pass a background check to begin carrying concealed firearms. Evidently in Wyoming, the felons are law-abiding enough as to refrain from carrying weapons without a permit. I knew the folks up there were a pretty hard-nosed bunch, but this exceeds my expectations.
Anyway, congratulations to the people of Wyoming. Colorado has such a bill in the legislature, but given the legislative makeup, I don't see it getting anywhere. Maybe next time.
