Wyoming requires no permit to purchase, no registration and no waiting period. At the dealer you show ID, fill out ATF Form 4473 and the dealer runs the NICS check. A Wyoming concealed firearm permit can serve in place of that check. Federal law sets 21 as the minimum age to buy any handgun from a dealer, and a used trade-in pistol is no exception. Cities and counties cannot add their own purchase rules under state preemption.
Dealers in these communities all work for Gillette-area buyers:
Wyoming allows concealed carry without a permit for adults 21 and older who may lawfully possess a firearm, and open carry is legal. The optional concealed firearm permit is issued by the Division of Criminal Investigation, but you apply through the sheriff of the county where you live. In Campbell County the sheriff's office takes fingerprints and the application, and permits run five years. The permit helps in other states and can replace the NICS check. Law enforcement facilities, jails and courtrooms remain off limits.
Wyoming Game and Fish sets deer, elk and pronghorn seasons by numbered hunt area. Nonresidents apply in a spring draw, and residents get many general licenses over the counter, while limited-quota licenses are drawn. Rifle seasons mostly fall in September through November, with dates set for each area. Wyoming also sets legal firearm and cartridge rules for big game, so a pistol must meet them. Check the current regulations for the hunt areas around Campbell County.
Pronghorn and mule deer are the main draws, with licenses issued by hunt area. Thunder Basin National Grassland east and south of town is the largest block of public ground nearby.
The CAM-PLEX events center hosts rodeos and trade shows, and Thunder Basin National Grassland spreads across the sagebrush country to the east.
These public ranges are run or listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Some need a hunting license, a range permit or a day-use fee, and hours change with the season, so check with the managing agency before you drive out.
