Secretary Gray Calls on Wyoming Legislature to Protect Second Amendment Rights by Repealing Gun Free Zones

News – Sheridan Media

Secretary of State Chuck Gray is calling on the Wyoming Legislature to repeal gun free zones in the state. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Secretary Gray issued a statement Wednesday regarding his vote of support on rules before the State Building Commission and information that was provided to the State Building Commission regarding those rules.  The State Building Commission is made up of the Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, and Superintendent of Public Instruction.

In his veto message to Secretary Gray issued March 22, 2024, Governor Mark Gordon stated that HB125/House Enrolled Act 49, erodes historic local control norms by giving sole authority to the Legislature to micromanage a constitutionally protected right. Any further clarification of the law, if this bill were enacted, would augment the Legislature’s reach into local firearms regulation. The bill exceeds the separation of powers embodied in Article 2 of the Wyoming Constitution, therefore it must be vetoed. The entire Governor’s veto message can be viewed here.
