How does Wyoming classify a firearm?

  1. Any device capable of discharging a projectile

  2. Only devices that use gunpowder

  3. Any device that can be loaded with and fire live ammunition

  4. Only handguns and rifles

The correct answer is: Any device capable of discharging a projectile

Wyoming classifies a firearm as any device capable of discharging a projectile. This includes both firearms that use gunpowder (such as rifles and handguns) and those that use live ammunition. Option A is the most general and correct description of how Wyoming classifies a firearm, as it encompasses all types of firearms. Options B and D are too specific, as they only refer to certain types of firearms. Option C is also incorrect because it limits the definition to only firearms that are capable of being loaded and fired, rather than any device that can discharge a projectile.
