| I have a WY permit that is still valid from when I lived there but will expire in Jan 07. Can I renew it as a UT resident? |

As I understand the WY regs. No - you can not get a WY permit if you are a nonres. You can get a Utah CCW permit and it will be recognized in WY as well as several other states - While I am not a legal expert I believe technically your WY permit may be currenly non-valid if you are no longer a WY resident unless you formally notified WY within 30 days of your move to UT. Check here for exact details on WY CCW. http://attorneygeneral.state.wy.us/dci/CWPFAQ.html |
I did call them when I left and they said the permit would be valid until it expired but I didn't think to ask if I could renew as an out of state. The UT CCW is in processing right now. Just thought it wouldn't hurt to have two in case one was valid in a state another wasn't. |
| I have not heard why Wyoming decided to not allow nonres to hold a nonres license. I expect because of the size of the state and to keep costs down they chose to not get set up to deal with more than their own populace. Several other states appear to make good money off of having dual permit holders - I agree with you two is always better than one as in two guns, knives or cases of ammo. |
Yep she has purchased firearms before, but the way the state statue is written she must be a American citizen to get a CCW here in the "free" state of Wyoming. Being married to a American, being here legally (over 12 years married and with a student visa before that) with all paperwork filled out legally does not mean squat. Someday hopefully she will get her citizenship so Wyoming will recognize her (even though she pays Wyoming taxes) and grant her the privledge of a Wy CCW

That's probably because all of the political money and alot of "politically correct" influences are coming out of Teton County ( only blue county in the State in the 2004 presidential election?) Bunch of California, liberal asshats in that part of the State now. People of Wyoming! Take back Teton County! ( If you have a few Billion). SM |
 Damn, that sucks. And that's just it, isnt it? I dont think anyone who lives in Jackson/Teton cty. is even from Wyoming anymore. Shame too, because that is some of the most beautiful land in the state, maybe in the US
