Permit & Carry Requirements
Wyoming is a constitutional carry state where no permit is required for eligible persons 18 and older to carry a concealed firearm. Open carry is also permitted. Wyoming issues a voluntary Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) through the Attorney General's office for residents who want a permit for reciprocity in other states.
Reciprocity
Wyoming honors concealed carry permits from all US states. The Wyoming CFP is recognized by a number of states across the country. Non-residents 18 and older may carry in Wyoming under its constitutional carry provisions when visiting. Wyoming has one of the most permissive firearms environments in the country.
Prohibited Locations
Wyoming prohibits carry in schools and on school grounds, law enforcement facilities, correctional facilities, courthouses, the state capitol building, and any posted private property. Wyoming's list of prohibited locations is short, reflecting the state's strong gun rights tradition.
NFA Items in Wyoming
Wyoming permits federally-registered NFA items including suppressors, SBRs, and SBSs. Wyoming has no state-level restrictions on NFA items beyond federal law and no magazine limits or assault weapon ban. The $200 NFA tax stamp elimination effective January 1, 2026 benefits Wyoming residents.
