Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Laramie County. Cheyenne is Wyoming's capital, a rail and military town on the high plains just north of the Colorado line. F.E. Warren Air Force Base and Cheyenne Frontier Days anchor its identity.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Wyoming law allows.
Wyoming has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. A dealer sale requires ATF Form 4473 and a federal NICS background check at the FFL, with federal minimum ages of 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns from a dealer. Bring a valid photo ID that shows your current address. Wyoming does not license gun owners, and state law limits local gun rules. Ammunition, optics and parts can ship to your home address anywhere in the state.
Dealers in these communities all work for Cheyenne-area buyers:
Wyoming allows concealed carry without a permit for adults 21 and older who may legally possess a firearm, and since July 2021 that applies to non-residents as well. The optional Wyoming concealed firearm permit is issued through the Attorney General's Division of Criminal Investigation. You complete the DCI application, then submit it with fingerprints at the sheriff's office in your county of residence. The permit helps with reciprocity in other states. Some locations remain restricted, so read posted rules.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department sets deer and antelope seasons by hunt area, and each area has its own opening day, license type and quota. Most general and limited-quota rifle seasons fall in October and November, with archery seasons earlier in the fall. Resident general deer licenses are sold over the counter, while many areas and all non-resident licenses require a draw. Check the current WGFD regulations for your hunt area and license type before you plan a trip.
Cheyenne falls in the Wyoming Game and Fish Laramie Region, with antelope and mule deer on the high plains and deer and elk in the Laramie Range to the west. Seasons and licenses are set by hunt area.
Windy open country around Cheyenne rewards flat-shooting rifles for antelope, and many rural homes east of town sit miles from the nearest neighbor. A home-defense shotgun and a quick-access safe are common first purchases.
These public ranges are run by state wildlife agencies and state forests in the states we serve. Many are free; some staffed facilities charge a daily fee, and hours change with the seasons, so check with the agency before you go.

Yes. Order here, name a licensed FFL dealer in Fox Farm-College, Ranchettes, South Greeley, Cheyenne or anywhere in Laramie County, and we ship the firearm to them. You fill out ATF Form 4473 at their counter and they run the background check.
No. Adults 21 and older who can legally possess a firearm can carry concealed without a permit, and the rule covers non-residents too. The optional permit is issued through the Division of Criminal Investigation.
No. Wyoming has no waiting period. The dealer runs the federal NICS check when you pick up the gun.
Seasons are set by hunt area. Opening days and license types differ across the state, so check the Wyoming Game and Fish regulations for the area you plan to hunt.
Yes, with compromises. A .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun handles deer well; for the house, many hunters add a shotgun or carbine that is shorter and easier to handle indoors.
Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
