Wyoming Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

In Wyoming, can a person carry a concealed weapon into a bar?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Yes, if the owner gives permission

4. Only with a special permit

The correct answer is: No

In Wyoming, it is generally illegal for a person to carry a concealed weapon into a bar. Wyoming law prohibits carrying a concealed firearm in establishments where alcohol is sold and consumed on the premises. This prohibition aims to reduce the likelihood of incidents involving the combination of alcohol and firearms, which could pose a danger to patrons and staff in a bar setting. Option A is incorrect because, as mentioned, carrying a concealed weapon into a bar is generally not allowed under Wyoming law. Option C is incorrect because even if the owner of the bar gives permission, carrying a concealed weapon into a bar remains prohibited by law in Wyoming. Option D is incorrect because in Wyoming, carrying a concealed weapon with a special permit does not override the restriction on carrying a concealed weapon into a bar. The provision prohibiting firearms in establishments primarily devoted to dispensing alcoholic beverages supersedes the permit regulations.
