  The bill he vetoed would have allowed concealed carry in public schools and government meetings.

    So it would have put him in danger.

    I can see why it was veto'd.

      I was just trying to provide additional information. The article title was ambiguous about if the law were designed to allow or deny guns in schools.

      I’ll be fair to him and assume he didn’t veto a pro-gun bill because he’s afraid for his personal safety.

  Gordon signed four other bills concerning gun rights. One prohibits credit card processors from using firearms or firearm-related merchant category codes and prevents the government or private entities from keeping any registry of firearms through use of a firearms code.

  The other bills prohibit red flag gun laws from being enforced or implemented in Wyoming, amend regulations to have those who have had firearms rights restored eligible for a concealed carry permit, and create an account to reimburse school districts for costs related to possession of firearms on school properties by school employees.

  Gordon also ordered state officials to consider allowing concealed carry in the Wyoming Capitol and other state buildings.

  So he’s made the problem worse still. No tracking of terrorists, allowing terrorists to get their guns back, and allowing those terrorists to be in the Capitol legally with a weapon.

    Nope, he did the right thing to protect the rights of his state’s citizens, and I applaud those decisions. Freedom and privacy are fundamentally related and should always be protected.

      Yeah, why have red flag laws? Ensuring psycho neighbors can still have guns regardless of what they’ve done and who they are is a great idea. Lol

      Clearly as a society we are willing to restrict freedoms in many ways for the sake of safety. We lock you away for certain crimes, we prevent you from driving a vehicle unless you pass certain tests and that can be taken away if you misuse it. The real question is what makes guns so special that we should short circuit all this reasoning and just say ‘no restrictions ever because freedoms’ regardless of the cost of that stance.

    I have ambivalent feelings about that.

  I’d like to see somebody float a bill to allow firearms to be carried without restriion in the U.S. Senate and House. Not just the members, the people. After all, it’s the people’s house isn’t it MAGAts? Bunch of flaming hypocrites, it would never make it to the floor and you’d never hear about it.

  So there is hope

    For the population of Wyoming, at least. Which is about a couple dozen people living in an area larger than the UK.

  Tbh, I'm impressed. It doesn't take a lot for certain politicians to impress me anymore.
