 Wyoming Firearms Laws 
 
 For details about specific firearms laws in Wyoming, choose a topic below, or see all of the firearms laws in this state. ||||| Wyoming, one of the most pro-gun states in the nation, is leading a coalition of 19 states asking the U.S. Supreme Court to let them submit a brief supporting a New Jersey man’s challenge to our state’s concealed weapons law. 
 
 To which we say, butt out. 
 
 States have broad powers to set gun policy, and in ours, a strong majority supports strict laws. This lawsuit is no special case; dozens of others have lost similar challenges. Most New Jerseyans don’t want to have to worry that the guy they’re fighting with over a parking spot might be packing heat. That’s why you need to show justifiable need to carry a handgun here. 
 
 Other states complain that if our policy is upheld, it could threaten their laxer standards. Please. Do they want us meddling in their gun laws? Because they actually do threaten our citizens by making it easier for dangerous people to acquire guns and bring them back East. 
 
 Wyoming, where anyone can carry a gun without a license or permit, had the sixth-highest rate of gun deaths per capita in 2010. It supplied the 12th-highest number of crime guns to other states the year before. 
 
 So the problem isn’t our laws. It’s yours.
– New Jersey's biggest newspaper isn't happy about Wyoming's attempt to meddle in its gun laws. It seems Wyoming is leading a coalition of 19 states supporting a man's Supreme Court challenge to New Jersey's concealed-carry law, and the Star-Ledger think the least populated state in the union should "butt out." States "have broad powers to set gun policy, and in ours, a strong majority supports strict laws," the paper says in a blistering editorial, explaining that most people in the state don't want to worry that "the guy they’re fighting with over a parking spot might be packing heat." "Do they want us meddling in their gun laws?" the paper asks, noting that Wyoming's loose gun laws are a threat to New Jersey because they make it easy for criminals to bring guns east. Wyoming ranked 6th in gun deaths per capita in 2010, the paper says, concluding that "the problem isn’t our laws. It’s yours." Wyoming's governor, however, says his state is supporting the New Jersey man's challenge to the state's requirement for concealed-carry permit holders to prove a "justifiable need" because the case "impacts the right to keep and bear arms outside of the home," the AP reports.
