The bill, known as the "Wyoming Repeal Gun Free Zones Act," aims to repeal existing gun-free zones and allows individuals with concealed carry permits to carry weapons in various public places, including government meetings, public schools, and college facilities, with certain exceptions. It establishes a criminal offense for prohibiting entry to individuals carrying concealed weapons in authorized areas, unless otherwise restricted by law. The bill clarifies that only the state legislature has the authority to regulate firearms, weapons, and ammunition, while allowing for specific exceptions and requiring rulemaking for implementation.

Additionally, the bill amends existing law to emphasize that the regulation of firearms is preempted by the state legislature, prohibiting local entities from imposing their own regulations on the sale, transfer, and possession of firearms. It repeals several provisions related to firearm regulations and mandates the state building commission to create necessary rules within 30 days of the bill's effective date, which is set for July 1, 2025.
