Change in Federal Firearms Regulations

As of February 22, 2010, a new federal law allows people who can legally possess firearms under applicable federal, state, and local laws, to legally possess firearms in this park.

It is the responsibility of visitors to understand and comply with all applicable state, local, and federal firearms laws before entering the park. As a starting point, please visit the State of Wyoming's website http://legisweb.state.wy.us/statutes/statutes.aspx?file=titles/Title6/T6CH8.htm for applicable state firearms laws.

Be advised-hunting is still illegal in the park and federal law still prohibits firearms in certain facilities in the park, such as Visitor Centers, Administrative Buildings, etc. These prohibited locations will be marked with signs at all public entrances.
