[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 619690, member: 2567"] Non residents can only conceal carry if the state that issued their permit has a recipricosity agreement with Wyoming. A lot of states do, but CA isn't one of them and there are plenty others that I can't name off the top of my head. As for carrying a gun in the truck, all my guns have shells in the magazine all the time unless I am cleaning them. Not an issue with game and fish. Many years ago I was hunting deer in N. California, we had started a drive and one of my friends shot and yelled out he had a cripple. I ran back up to my 4 wheeler and road down the road 100 yards to try and help him out and there stood two game wardens. OOPs I forgot to pull the shell out of the chamber of my model 700 7mm. Game warden came up to me first as a bunch of the other guys in my hunting party showed up and when the game warden asked me to check my gun I said sure until I went to open the bolt, safety on bolt locked. I got a citation for having a loaded weapon in a vehicle and he went so far as to write the license number of my truck on the citation. I was on a 4 wheeler. I had to go to court and the judge asks me how I plead and if I want counsel to represent me. I plead guilty and he warns me that I could be sentenced to 6 months in jail! In CA this is a misdemeanor crime! Safety dictates you don't have a loaded gun in a truck, but you are safe in Wyoming with shells in the magazine unless you need them in the chamber because you just got chased into your truck by a grizzly( it happened to me) Keep in mind that Wyoming game and fish changed a specific part of the law as far as shooting off of publicly maintained roads. You now need to be 25 feet on the other side of a right a way fence or twenty five feet from the borrow pit on the edge of the road. This change in law is because a savy hunter beat them in court while shooting from the right a way fence because he claimed the end of the barrel of his rifle was on the other side of the fence. So, they changed the rules. [/QUOTE]
