Overview for Wyoming

Wyoming has fairly lax gun laws not even requiring a permit to concealed carry.

Chapter 44 of Title 18 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) does not allow citizens, convicted of a felony with a prison sentence over a year to own firearms. This includes hand guns, and long guns. Many states allow convicted felons to own firearms after a certain amount of time has passed, (usually 10 years or more) since the end of their sentence, and/or if they are given a full pardon by certain authority figures (Governors, President, etc.) Wyoming only allows convicted felons to own firearms if they get a full pardon.
