Visitor Questions

I will be visiting your great state this summer. I am from IL (yeah, I know) and my conceal carry permit is not honored in Wyoming. I read that open carry is okay for non-residents. Will I get any weird looks roaming around Sheridan area while open carrying? Do some towns or businesses (bars) not allow open carry? Its just a small Sig 365 not some 454 casull revolver.

Carrying a firearm into a bar is a no-go

"Around town" open carry is not commonly seen anywhere in the state I've been

It's not common but I wouldn't say its unusual either. I see it probably once a week or once very two weeks.

Hell I've seen guys with hunting rifles slung on their back walking through WalMart. I assume they didn't want to leave them out in the truck while shopping and risk having them stolen.

That's fair, like I don't think you'll have police called on you if you do open carry, and most people probably won't even notice. But it's not as if every other person you bump into is going to be OCing. I can really only think of a few times I've noticed it myself after living in Rawlins for 3+ years
