The anti-gun crowd fought this legislation every step of the way. The plain and simple truth is when push came to shove, it was your phone calls and emails that pushed this freedom-restoring bill through the legislature.
Constitutional Carry Now The Law In Wyoming MAR 02, 2011 07:38P.M.
This legislation marks a fantastic first step toward restoring your right to self-defense in Wyoming. Now is the time for us to forge ahead and repeal the numerous criminal safe zones in Wyoming.
Constitutional Carry Now The Law In Wyoming Governor Mead responds to gun owners, and signs Constitutional Carry Bill into Law.
Even though the Jennings-Jaggi bill has made it possible to carry a firearm without going through a laborious permit process, we are still a long way from being done. Wyomingites are still not allowed to defend themselves in their places of worship, where they teach their children, or even when out to eat with their family. That is simply wrong. Our Constitution doesn’t come with a list of places where our rights no longer apply. That’s why Wyoming Gun Owners’ number one priority is eliminating these places where criminals are armed, but the law demands you to be unarmed. I honestly want you to take a minute and think about the power your actions had in passing Constitutional Carry in Wyoming. It’s an unquestionably great achievement, and it is because men and women like you across Wyoming got involved. You deserve to feel good about that.
Governor Signs Constitutional Carry In Wyoming
Wyoming now joins only a small handful of states that allow real Constitutional Carry. Next I want you to think about how much work we still have to do, roll up your sleeves, and join me for this coming fight. Wyoming Gun Owners is Wyoming’s premiere state level gun rights organization. There is simply no other grassroots organization taking action in the legislature at this level.
Wyoming Gun Owners Wyoming --(Ammoland.com)- Wyoming is moving in the right direction, and it is because of men and women like you.
If restoring liberties in Wyoming is important to you, I guarantee you there is no better organization to be a part of. We’ve worked long and hard to pass Constitutional Carry in Wyoming, and repealing criminal safe zones isn’t going to be easy.
This afternoon, I watched as Governor Mead signed Constitutional Carry into law while saying his office had been clogged with emails and phone calls from people demanding he sign the Jennings-Jaggi Constitutional Carry bill.
That’s why I need you to: 1. become a member of Wyoming Gun Owners if you haven’t already, and
Even though so called “political experts” say your activism doesn’t matter, today’s events show who has the real power in politics… You!

That’s 2,100 to 6,800 people every day who successfully use firearms to defend themselves, or prevent a criminal attack.

The rams were provided to the state of New Mexico in exchange for pronghorn antelope that were moved to three wildlife management areas in Mexico during the last two winters.
Desert Sheep From Mexico Arrive At Red Rock Wildlife Area
The state of New Mexico started cooperative wildlife management programs with Mexican wildlife authorities in the 1970s. In 1972, desert bighorn sheep propagation at Red Rock began with five ewes from Mexico, and one ram from the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge on White Sands Missile Range.
MAR 02, 2011 04:50P.M. Desert Sheep From Mexico Arrive At Red Rock Wildlife Area
Offspring from the Red Rock herd have helped rebuild desert bighorn across New Mexico’s desert mountain ranges. The species once was considered endangered in the state, but after decades of releases, selective predator control, and the support of numerous wildlife conservation groups the animals are candidates for delisting under the Wildlife Conservation Act. “These rams from Mexico are 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 years old,” said Darrel Weybright, big-game project leader for the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. “The idea is that once these rams get a little older, we can take out all the existing Red Rock rams and allow the Mexican rams to do the breeding.” Weybright said the Red Rock sheep need more genetic diversity. With the bulk of the sheep at Red Rock being from the San Andres, over the next decade offspring from the captive herd will be used to augment desert bighorn populations across New Mexico.

A detention hearing for Morrison and Otilio Osorio is scheduled for today at 2:00 p.m. CT before U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul D. Stickney in Dallas. Ranferi Osorio’s detention hearing is scheduled for March 4, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. CT before Judge Stickney.
Three Dallas-Area Men Arrested on Federal Firearms Charges Related to Trafficking Firearms to a Mexican Drug Cartel
According to court documents filed in both cases, a Dallas ATF confidential informant (CI) arranged a meeting in early November 2010 with individuals who had firearms to be transported from Dallas to Laredo. The meeting was arranged related to an investigation of Los Zetas, a notoriously violent and ruthless drug trafficking organization. The weapons in question were ultimately seized by U.S. law enforcement near Laredo, before crossing the U.S./Mexico border.
MAR 02, 2011 04:35P.M. Three Dallas-Area Men Arrested on Federal Firearms Charges Related to Trafficking Firearms to a Mexican Drug Cartel Ballistic Tests Trace One of the Firearms Used in February 2011 Shooting of ICE Agents to One of the Defendants.
According to the court documents, at the meeting, two men unloaded several large bags containing firearms into the CI’s vehicle, which was kept under surveillance until a traffic stop in Laredo. According to the court documents, the two men’s vehicle was later stopped by local police and the men were identified as Ranferi and Otilio Osorio. Morrison was the third passenger in the vehicle. The vehicle stopped in Laredo was searched and 40 firearms, all with obliterated serial numbers, were seized. Trace results indicated that three of these firearms could be specifically traced to Morrison, who bought them from federal firearms licensees (FFL) in the Dallas/Fort Worth area on Nov. 4, 2010. The investigation now has also revealed that on Aug. 7, 2010, a Romarm, model WASR, 7.62 caliber rifle was discovered by law enforcement officers in LaPryor, Texas, near the U.S./Mexico border. Trace results indicated that Morrison purchased this firearm on July 30, 2010, from a FFL. According to the affidavit, between July 10, 2010, and Nov. 4, 2010, Morrison purchased 24 firearms from FFLs. In addition, according to one affidavit filed in the case, one of the three firearms used in the Feb. 15, 2011, deadly assault of ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata that was seized by Mexican officials has been traced by ATF to Otilio Osorio. Otilio Osorio allegedly purchased that firearm on Oct.10, 2010, in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, prior to law enforcement’s awareness of the purchase. Ballistic testing conducted by Mexican authorities on this firearm indicated it was one of the three firearms used during the deadly assault on Special Agent Zapata’s vehicle.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives DALLAS, TX --(Ammoland.com)- Three individuals have been arrested by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), assisted by other state and local law enforcement, on federal firearms charges outlined in two complaints, announced U.S. Attorney James T. Jacks for the Northern District of Texas and Special Agent in Charge Robert R. Champion of the ATF’s Dallas Field Office. Ranferi Osorio, 27, and his brother, Otilio Osorio, 22, were arrested yesterday at their home on East Colonial Drive in Lancaster, Texas. Each Osorio brother is charged with possessing firearms with an obliterated serial number. Separately, according to information contained in one complaint, Mexican officials recently seized three firearms that were used in the deadly shooting on Feb. 15, 2011, of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. One of the firearms recovered was traced by ATF to Otilio Osorio.
A federal complaint is a written statement of the essential facts of the offenses charged, and must be made under oath before a magistrate judge. A defendant is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. If convicted, the penalty for possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, per count. The penalty for knowingly making false statements in connection with the acquisition of firearms is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, per count. The penalty for dealing in firearms without a license is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, per count.
An additional defendant, Kelvin Leon Morrison, 25, who is charged in a separate federal criminal complaint, was arrested at his home next door to the Osorio brothers. Morrison is charged with knowingly making false statements in connection with the acquisition of firearms and dealing in firearms without a license.
The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the ATF, DEA, FBI, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement – Homeland Security Investigations and the Lancaster, Texas, Police Department. These cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Tromblay for the Northern District of Texas.

Rep. Crafts said his bill also would make concealed carry permits less expensive – $10 for an original application instead of the current $35 fee – and would extend the length of permits from four years to seven years.
Concealed Weapon Bill Would Enhance Public Safety Says Maine State Rep. Dale Crafts
Under LD 658, all restrictions that apply to concealed carry permits would apply to the proposed law, and persons carrying a concealed weapon without a permit would be subject to additional restrictions. Such persons, for example, could not enter a polling place on the day of an election, the grounds or buildings of a school or a nuclear power plant or hydroelectric facility.

Moreover, the prohibition against carrying without a permit would extend to “a structure, vehicle or craft owned, leased or operated by the state or a political subdivision of the state after a reasonable request by the operator or sponsor…to remove the dangerous or deadly weapon and place it in the custody of the operator or sponsor for temporary and secure storage.” Rep. Crafts said his bill has been attacked in press accounts based on false and misleading statements. In one article, a critic said the bill would make guns “very, very available to young people – to children – who are just playing with them.” Rep. Crafts said critics need to remember that citizens are currently allowed to carry weapons that are not concealed. “I don’t see this leading to an explosion in the number of guns,” he said. “Right now you can walk down main street wearing a holster with a revolver just like you could in the old West. The only difference with my bill is that you could conceal that same weapon.”
State of Maine AUGUSTA, MAINE --(Ammoland.com)- State Rep. Dale Crafts says his bill to modify the law regarding concealed carry weapons is a safety enhancement for law abiding citizens and would make concealed carry permits more affordable.

The bill by Rep. Crafts (R-Lisbon), LD 658, is titled “An Act to Modify the Requirement of a Permit to Carry a Concealed Weapon.” It is modeled on laws currently in effect in Arizona and Alaska. In essence, it would allow a person to carry a concealed weapon without a permit except in certain places, which are detailed in the legislation.

“In my view, an armed society is a safer society,” said Rep. Crafts, a second-term legislator. “The requirement to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon could be considered a violation of the 2nd Amendment, which states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Founding Fathers thought that right was so basic that it comes at the top of the Bill of Rights, just after the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. “American citizens have a right to protect themselves,” he added, “whether they are in their own homes or in a public venue. This bill would enhance the right to self-protection for law-abiding folks, with reasonable restraints.”
