Does Wyoming require a permit to purchase a handgun?

Yes
No
Only for residents
Only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In Wyoming, the state does not require a permit to purchase a handgun. This means that any individual who meets the legal requirements set by federal law can purchase a handgun without obtaining a permit from the state. This reflects Wyoming's stance on firearms regulations, which generally favor minimal government intervention when it comes to purchasing and owning firearms. The absence of a permit requirement simplifies the process for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights to own handguns legally. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest some form of permit requirement for purchasing a handgun, which is not the case in Wyoming. Residents and non-residents alike do not need a permit to purchase a handgun in the state.
