Wyoming –-(Ammoland.com)- In an outrageous betrayal of gun owners, the Wyoming Senate just voted to kill our Campus Carry legislation (HB 136) by a vote of 17-13 earlier today!
This means that teachers, students, and staff at all of Wyoming’s public universities are going to be left totally helpless in the face of an armed madman.
All this in a Senate chamber that purports to be pro-gun!
Understand this, this isn’t Colorado — we can’t blame Democrats. In fact, there’s only three of them in the entire Senate!
You and I were sold out by the establishment who talks a pro-gun game on the campaign trail — only to oppose your gun rights once they are safely in office.
Here’s a list of the Senators who voted against your Second Amendment freedom, and voted to leave your children and grandchildren vulnerable on college campuses.

Please make sure that they hear from you.
But the good news is that you and I have an actual recorded vote of who stands with gun owners and who is just talking the talk.
WyGo isn’t like other organizations. We will be holding these legislators accountable at election time — something that we couldn’t do before without a recorded roll call vote.
So while this vote today wasn’t the outcome we were hoping for, after five years of working to obtain a vote on this bill, we’ve finally done it!
We’ll have more information coming shortly about the legislation to repeal “Gun Free Zones” in government buildings.
