WY: BE HEARD – Ask Wyoming Legislators to Uphold Second Amendment Protections

BE HEARD – Ask Wyoming Legislators to Uphold Second Amendment Protections!

Thank you so much for taking action on our alerts! The Legislature is hearing you loud and clear in Cheyenne, but we still need you to keep speaking out!
In fact, were it not for the efforts of GOA and its members, we would have forfeited the incredible Second Amendment victories that we achieved here in Wyoming over recent years.
I have news to report to you today, but first, let me explain where we’ve been in order to explain what we need to do now. 
In 2022, GOA fought to pass Wyoming Statute 9-14-203 which imposed a Criminal Penalty of imprisonment for not more than one (1) year, and a fine of not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000.00), for state or local officials who infringe on your Second Amendment Rights.
While no law is perfect, many around the country regard this law as the nation’s strongest Criminal Second Amendment Protection Act (SAPA) because it is a serious deterrent for officials who would infringe on your Rights!
Since the passage of the 2022 law, GOA has worked in Cheyenne every year to add a process allowing citizens to take civil action against a governmental entity that infringes on our Second Amendment
