Effective July 1, 2025

During the 2025 Wyoming legislative session, the Repeal Gun Free Zones and Preemption Amendments, HB 0172, House Enrolled Act No. 24, was passed by both houses.  This new law allows concealed carry on the University campus but authorizes the University to prohibit the open carry of firearms in its facilities or on its campus. See Wyo. Stat. § 6-8-105(d)(iii) effective July 1, 2025. UW Regulation 6-4 prohibits the open carry of firearms specifically in its facilities.
