What type of firearms are illegal to own in Wyoming?

  1. Semi-automatic weapons

  2. Sawed-off shotguns

  3. Handguns

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Sawed-off shotguns

Sawed-off shotguns are illegal to own in Wyoming. This is because sawed-off shotguns are considered as dangerous weapons due to their short barrels, which make them more concealable and more likely to cause severe injuries at close range. Wyoming law prohibits the possession, manufacturing, or sale of sawed-off shotguns, as they are classified as illegal weapons under state law. The other options, such as semi-automatic weapons and handguns, are generally legal to own in Wyoming as long as they are acquired and possessed in compliance with state and federal firearms laws.
