Is it legal to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol in Wyoming?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, if not handling the firearm

  4. Only in one's own home

The correct answer is: No

While Wyoming has relatively lax gun laws and does not prohibit legal firearm ownership, state law does not permit individuals to possess firearms while under the influence of alcohol, regardless of whether or not they are handling the firearm. This is important for both the safety of the individual and those around them, as alcohol can impair judgement and coordination, making handling a firearm extremely dangerous. Additionally, while it may be legal to possess a firearm in one's own home in Wyoming, this does not apply if the individual is under the influence of alcohol. Therefore, the correct answer is "No," it is not legal to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol in Wyoming.
