A bill that would have eliminated Wyoming’s “gun-free zones” was killed by a Senate committee on Wednesday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 3-2 to kill SF 75, proposed by Sen. Anthony Bouchard, R-Cheyenne.
The bill would have eliminated areas where concealed weapons are not allowed, such as government buildings and school campuses.
Bouchard said he tried unsuccessfully to get his bill moved to the Senate Agriculture Committee, where he believed it stood a better chance of approval.
“I kind of knew if it went into (the Judiciary) Committee, it would die,” he said.
A similar bill, HB 183, is awaiting introduction in the House.
