Wyoming's governor signed permitless carry into law, making it the 4th state to do so. This is a great move for the protection of the citizens of the state. These laws typically say, if you are legally allowed to own the gun and you are not involved in anything illegal you can carry your firearm as it is your property.
The licensing process has a big flaw. Only people that care about the law are going to get licenses, leaving the criminals to carry as they please. Many people in my home state of Texas would carry their firearms if not for the hassle (10hr class) and expense (about $300 when its all said and done) of a licensing process. Licensing leaves these law abiding people unarmed unless they are at home.
