CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A bill has been introduced that would allow for the concealed carry of weapons in government buildings, including schools and colleges, in Wyoming.
Republican Rep. Allen Jaggi, of Lyman, is the main sponsor of House Bill 114.
Anthony Bouchard is executive director of Wyoming Gun Owners, which supports the bill.
Bouchard says the Wyoming Constitution does not provide for government entities to restrict people’s right to carry a weapon on public property.
But Kathy Vetter of the Wyoming Education Association says allowing concealed guns in the state’s schools would cause concerns for student safety.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1554aOl ) that the proposed legislation would not apply to courthouses and would continue to allow private property owners to restrict concealed carry on their grounds.
