CHEYENNE -- Proposals to loosen gun regulations are likely to emerge when the Legislature convenes in early January.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting is spurring national leaders to call for tighter federal gun-control laws. But several Wyoming legislators say they are planning to sponsor legislation that would do the opposite.

Incoming Speaker of the House Tom Lubnau, R-Gillette, said he is drafting legislation that would end gun-free zones.

Wyoming already has some of the best gun laws in the country, but I love how their reaction when something like Sandy Hook happens is to immediately decide to give people MORE freedom rather than less. They've got the right idea. Wish I lived there sometimes.

Actually trying to solve the problem - what's up with that?

Don't worry the feds will be there shortly to settle everything. This is all just a big misunderstanding folks. Gun laws do work :rolleyes:

This is awesome. FSP Wyoming, ftw! :o

I only hope some other states take notice and follow their lead.

a little windy and cold, but if you like the wild west - then it's a nice place

Fixed it.

Cold I can deal with, but I HATE the wind! Are there areas of the state that aren't very windy?

I've been in Wyoming for a small frame of time. From what I've saw of it, I imagine you mean "wild west" as in a whole bunch of scenery you usually see in old western movies as the horse rides from one place to the next. Not really in the gun totin wild west sense (btw, wasn't really wild at all by comparison to today).

Fixed it.

If you can't believe a man who was Hollywood's top box office draw when he died, who can you believe? There's a reason they call it 'Planet Hollywood'.

No, the west ain't what it used to be. And never was.

This will be a good experiment to see which states actually increase and decrease crime. As long as the federal government doesn't interfere, of course.

Yes. All over the state, as long as you are inside. Here is a Wyoming wind map. It shows 1 town that isn't crazy windy.

More about that town. Since it is on the MT border, it is pretty cold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheridan,_Wyoming It also looks like some of the Indian Preservative isn't so windy. You could look into that. Of course, since the Reservation is named after wind, I guess some parts of it are very windy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_River_Indian_Reservation

You should move to WY. That way, there will be 1 person who moved to WY for political liberty that is politically active. There was another person on this forum but he left WY.

As for reducing gun regulations, that's a great idea. It would people helpful all over the US. It is especially needed in places like Europe, Asia, Mexico, Central America and South America, though.
