Legislation being weighed by the Wyoming House of Representatives would allow law-abiding students to be armed on campus for self-defense without the burden of needing a permit.
The legislation is House Bill 0095, which “[specifies] that persons who are authorized to carry concealed weapons without a permit may do so at any public college or university facility.”
HB 0095 would “[repeal] obsolete provisions” now standing in the way of permitless campus carry.
USA Carry noted that the legislation has nine sponsoring state Reps. and five sponsoring state Senators.
They also pointed out that HB 0095 “marks a continuation of legislative efforts to eliminate remaining gun-free zones throughout Wyoming, with a focus now on higher education institutions.”
Wyoming is a campus carry state and one of 29 constitutional carry states. If HB 0095 becomes law, Wyoming’s constitutional carry will include public college and university campuses.
