Faced with the prospect of new federal gun restrictions,
the Wyoming House gave initial approval Wednesday to bills that sponsors say
would exempt guns in the state from new regulations
while possibly taking the fight to criminals who might choose to attack public schools.
The House voted in favor of a bill that would seek to block the federal government
from restricting assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It amended the bill to specify that federal officials who tried to enforce any ban
would be subject to state misdemeanor charges instead of felony charges.

Good enough for me. Call the moving van. Wyoming here I come.

This isn't the first time Wyoming and Montana have told the feds to pound sand.

Montana told them to stuff it when they lowered the speed limit to 55. Feds told them they would withhold federal highway funding, that said keep it.

Sounds like a few left leaners even in Wyoming though.

Quite a few similar bills being considered in many red state senates and legislatures, mine included. Sad, but needed.

I wonder what this means for those of us that travel.
Several States are protecting gun IN their State, but what about going State to State?

I believe you are always are bound by the laws in the particular state you're standing in.
Even with a reciprocating agreements.
In general - that's how it works...

I have to be careful in other states as most have gun and not weapon permits.
I have to follow the rules in that state.
Including places where I'm not allowed to carry at all. Which varies by state.
My double edged push dagger is frowned upon most places.

Barth, I know that you are right, and we have always checked the laws as we have traveled, but this is a whole new ballgame!!!!
The laws are changing day to day. What if we arrive in a State on Sunday, check the laws and then by Friday they are different. It's a little bit scary, but it's not as scary as not having a gun.

True enough.
I'd like to think law enforcement would be mindful of that.
And allow a grace period immediately after a major change.

THat would be the correct reaction by LEO, but it still makes me uncomfortable.

Drive the speed limit, use your turn signal, be normal and polite and you shouldn't have any dealing with law enforcement.

That's true until they start setting up check points to check your "papers" when crossing state lines.

[Bawanna]

I'm sure that's part of the future plan by the head terrorist. Except for California, Illinois, and undoubtedly New York, I doubt many states would set up check points. Most would not agree with it and all would not have the man power to cover every road into and out of a state.

I don't think the feds currently have the authority to do check points on their own of course the head terrorist could do an executive order and then it's a whole new rule book.

I actually wouldn't mind it once I get to Montana or Wyoming. Check points to keep people from the above states the hell out. Cept for Old Lincoln of course, him and his missus get a pass.

OR... pay attention... situational awareness and all... AND use the best radar detector... the Valentine One, as I do. The Mark One eyeball is still the best detector quite often... and CAUTION goes a long way!

I'm always polite and respectful... and answer truthfully... really!
