your info is not correct sir, CCW is only for your person, so if someone is in his, or her car, as long as its not on them, they may have it anywhere in there car, yes even under the seat. I have my CCW and know the training I have received, I also carried without one and had been stopped and never had a problem with it under my seat and even telling a officer!

@Chyrs, Concealed is on ” your person “, I have lived here my whole life, if you look at the Castle Doctrine it is clear. If someone can have a firearm in there home anyway the want.
Then they can in there vehicle. With a CCW permit it also gives you the option to carry. I have had all of a NRA instructor to the Police, Sheriff and Highway Patrol confirm this, also you can look at each state and its laws and it is clear that you can carry a handgun loaded, or unloaded anywhere in your vehicle, without a Permit! If its on your person in the vehicle then you would need a CCW permit.

I am a CA resident and flying from CA to WY and return. I have a registered handgun but not a carry permit. TSA says an unloaded handgun can be in checked baggage. But what do I do once I get to WY? Is it legal to carry it unloaded in my baggage to my lodge?
PS: I will be in Grand Teton PArk.

So, if I’ve traveling from Montana which recognizes my CWP and I enter Wyoming en-route to Yellowstone National Park and have to stop for gas; do I need to disassemble my firearm or can I tuck my shirt in and carry openly while pumping and paying for my gas?

I live in Ca, but I will be driving to many national parks in Utah, Wyoming and Arizona. I will be there to do a lot of photography, but I am concerned about bears, mountain Lions, Cougars and snakes. I would like to carry my 357 for protection.Should I put the 357 on a belt holster…or can I conceal it in my camera bag so as not to upset any tourists. Most likely, I would not need the 357…but you never know

to xdguy Wyoming gun law as far as vehicle carry is not like your home you may not carry a loaded uncased firearm out of sight without a concealed carry permit (Until July 1, 2011, at that time Wyoming legal residents can without a permit). Colorado last time I checked sees your vehicle as the same as your home.

I have recently moved to Wyoming from California. As of 01/01/2011 there are NO i repeat NO laws in the state of Wyoming regarding Open Carry. You may legally OC anywhere in the state except for FEDERALLY SENSITIVE AREAS, (Schools, Post Office, Federal Buildings etc.). These are the only exceptions and they are Federal Laws, Not state laws. Concealed Carry requires a permit. Wyoming does recognize some state permits, however California is not one of them. If you are going to Yellowstone, Idaho and Montana both do recognize California Permits, but Wyoming does NOT. (Because California can issue a permit to a person with a misdemeanor drug conviction and Wyoming will not). You do have to respect Private Property and if it is posted or you are asked to leave, you must not carry a firearm on that property. Please review the laws for yourself as I am not qualified to give legal advise and this post is not to be considered as such.

You can carry your handgun in your car or truck, loaded or unloaded anywhere in the vehicle. The Castle Law is the same for your vehicle as your home.
