On Monday, February 9th, the Wyoming Legislature kicked off its 2026 session, marking the start of another high-stakes showdown in one of America’s most unapologetically pro-2A states. Wyoming’s lawmakers, fresh off a string of victories like the 2024 expansion of constitutional carry to all adults 18 and older and robust protections against federal overreach, now convene amid a national landscape where anti-gun forces are ramping up assaults on everything from suppressors to standard-capacity magazines. This isn’t just another session—it’s a fortress under siege, with the Cowboy State’s 94 legislators poised to defend the Second Amendment ramparts while the Biden-Harris era’s regulatory ghosts linger and a potential Trump return looms large.

For the 2A community, the implications are electric: expect preemptive strikes against ATF rule encroachments, perhaps codifying pistol brace freedoms or bolstering school staff carry laws amid rising threats. Wyoming’s track record is gold-standard—ranking consistently in the top tier of Guns & Ammo’s state rankings—and with a Republican supermajority holding firm (even after minor 2024 shifts), bills like enhanced range protections or nullification measures could sail through. Watch for crossover appeal too: rural economic boosters disguised as pro-hunting reforms that quietly fortify gun owner rights. Nationally, Wyoming’s moves serve as a blueprint; if they crush federal pistol brace bans or advance national reciprocity pushes, it ripples to battleground states. Stay locked in—this session could drop legislative ammo for 2A warriors everywhere.

The real wildcard? Budget windfalls from energy booms funding more sheriffs’ training grants or armories. Pro-2A activists, gear up: testify, lobby, and celebrate Wyoming’s defiance. In a world of creeping confiscation, the Equality State reminds us freedom isn’t given—it’s guarded, one bill at a time.
