Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to weapons; amending the age requirement for a qualified person to be issued a permit to carry a concealed weapon; making conforming amendments; repealing obsolete provisions; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning the carrying of concealed weapons, proposes to lower the minimum age requirement for a qualified person to be issued a permit to carry a concealed firearm from twenty-one (21) years old to eighteen (18) years old, aligning this age with the age of military service and other rights typically granted to adults. It also makes conforming amendments to related provisions, specifically updating references within the law to reflect this change and removing an outdated subsection (j) of W.S. 6-8-104, which likely contained provisions now superseded or made redundant by the amendment. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
