Wyoming Concealed Carry
Any Wyoming resident over the age of 21 may concealed or open carry a firearm without a permit.
A concealed carry permit can be obtained if an individual wishes to carry a concealed weapon in reciprocating states. To apply for the Wyoming Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP), the applicant will have to follow the steps listed below.
- Complete training course or participation in a firearms competition. A photocopy of the certificate or affidavit from the instructor must be attached to the application.
- Download and complete the Concealed Firearm Permit Application; make 3 copies.
- Visit the county sheriff’s office and hand over all copies of the application form and the certificate or affidavit of training.
- The sheriff’s office will perform a background check. They will charge a fee for this service as well as an application fee (fees are listed on the first page of the application form).
- A copy of the application will be given back to the applicant so they can visit a DOT Driver’s Services office and have their picture taken for the permit. This must be done within 5 days of submitting the application.
