TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Training before an application

Practical next step: Ask the issuing authority whether your instructor, course format, certificate, and live-fire qualification satisfy the current application rules before paying for a class.

NONRESIDENTS AND TRAVEL
Crossing a state line changes the rules
Wyoming permits are generally issued to residents, while qualifying visitors may rely on permitless carry or recognition. Check DCI's current rules, including 2026 statutory updates.
Reciprocity caution: Recognition of a permit does not make every rule identical. Vehicle carry, notice signs, prohibited places, duty to inform, alcohol-related locations, and magazine or firearm restrictions may differ.
