Wyoming Protects Rights of Citizens in Disaster

On Friday, March 7, Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal (D) signed House Bill 57 into law.

Sponsored by State Representative Allen Jaggi (R-18), HB 57 will prevent government authorities from confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens, such as occurred in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This legislation will prevent the state of Wyoming from restricting the possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display, or use of firearms or ammunition during a declared state of emergency.

Please contact Governor Freudenthal and thank him for protecting our Second Amendment rights. The Governor can be reached by phone at (307) 777-7434 or visit http://governor.wy.gov/contact-dave/default.html to send email.
