Hey, my brother Sam is en route to Cheyenne, WY right now and is curious about any legal restrictions on OC in the great state of Wyoming. I can't find anything so I am assuming that there aren't restrictions against carrying in bars and the like?

Also, if anyone wants to meet up with him, shoot him an email at cheyenneoc@samsonfab.com.

CARRY ON!

There are 0 laws in Wyoming concerning Open Carry, but I still don't think it smart to carry into a bar whether your drinking or not.
You cannot conceal carry into a bar.

I met a legislator for lunch and the establishment was packed, they could only seat us in the lounge side. I said to the legislator good thing I am open carrying. He responded with "you can OC but not CC, what's the point of going to the trouble of getting a CC permit?", to which I responded "welcome to my world".

It was agreed upon that the only thing stopping a drunk that wanted to shoot up the place was me the one open carrying.

Just my two cents.

My perception of a bar and a lounge are two places with entirely different atmospheres and attitudes and while I no longer frequent either my perception may be off. I think of a lounge as a more 'genteel' type of establishment, and fights are very uncommon, whereas a bar is where people go to get entirely smashed (sometimes literally), and fights are quite frequent.

Using the above scenario I believe (my opinion) that carrying into a bar is not very smart.
