I live in Casper Wyoming and I love firearms. I'm 15 and I already own 3 guns. A 22 lever action rifle, a 20 gauge pump shotgun, and a 44 caliber black powder revolver.
phildev well... I get your point... but not really "often".... other than the current unrest, gun homocides have been on the decline for 3 decades... even folks who buy a gun and it sets in their end table... they overwhelmingly don't cause trouble... and bad guys are gonna be bad guys regardless...
Ted, thank you. I appreciate that you have done a news report that takes a calm rational look at how responsible and caring gun owners conduct themselves. These kids have parents that are involved in their lives and that will give them lessons that can't be measured. I too appreciate that you incorporated the element of hunting as conservation. After all, the Pittman-Robertson act, and associated taxes on guns, was established by hunters. Again, thank you.
It's a big *empty* state is what it is. There's more than 14 times as many people in New York city than in that entire state. But maybe that's why it's nice. Us humans tend to fuck things up, so any place that doesn't have humans, or has very little humans, usually stays pretty nice.
I live here. And have never felt unsafe. I can go for a walk or run at 3 am, and don't worry about it. I also don't have to worry about someone breaking into my home because you have to be a special sort of stupid to go and try and rob someone here. Plenty of people leave their cars and doors unlocked even. Sure there can be drug problems but even they mostly know to not go messing with people and most will just mind there own business. If I could just make a wish it would be that everyone in the free world was armed and respected their right to self defense as much as we do out here. And I know if more people exercised their right to be armed and learned how to operate a gun and respect it and teach children how to be safe around guns like out here and not as weapons but as tools, that it's best use is to never need to be used. If all this happened violent crime would become almost a non issue. People don't pick on people there own size nearly as much and guns make everyone the same size. A 90 year old women can be just as deadly as a 200 pound man. The answer to reducing crime is not to make everyone weaker, but rather to make people stronger and more capable of defense.
Very well worded my friend I wish everyone could just simply have the same viewpoint. I'm a neighbor of that windy place, we share alot of the same values
I live in California I was born here this state is horrible about twice a year I head out to Wyoming to do some hunting I have never met a sour person there every single person you talk to is happy and loving life I've been saving for a few years now I'm by the end of 2019 I plan to own my own house out in Cody
For the sake of your rural frontier lifestyle, please keep all those greedy suburban developers out of your state. You dont want hideous cookie cutter suburban sprawl around Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie. Keep the development inside the cities and small towns. Wyoming is too beautiful and too unique to permit the toxic cancer of suburban sprawl to ruin it.
I think personally its good that these people have & are RESPONSIBLE of their firearms. As long as they can control things i think it should be no problem.
I live in Cheyenne Wyoming, and yes I have 5 long guns and five revolvers. And yes I am a responsible owner. This is a very good video. Thanks for posting it.
Keep it that way. Either fit in and integrate right in the state and regional culture, or leave. The alternative is what is currently happening to Texas.
God Bless the great state of Wyoming! The people there respect and appreciate firearms the way other states should. Half the crime rate of other states and twice the liberty. A true model for the rest of the United States.
It looks really nice in the summer time.. But in the cold season, I prefer South Texas.. :) I was shooting a .22 rifle at the age of five. The most important part of my firearm safety training was seeing the effects of .22 rim fire bullets on small game. You only need go hunting a few times and you realize firearms aren't toys. They give a person the ability to kill. The gun is in same category of tool/weapon as the stone tipped spear. It is just the modern version of the spear. For those who think children of such a young age can't learn to be responsible with weapons, think about how a 5 or 6 year old child knows enough, not to stick a sharp pencil in a baby's eye?
Now that is proper firearm education!!! That is the same way that I was raised about firearms!!!! Wyoming is and always will be beautiful country!!! When I used to drive over the road I never ever met an unfriendly person in that state!!!! And they showed you RESPECT even though they never even met you until that day!!!!
lol at 7 i was allowed to take my 22 to the woods and bring back dinner no one would bat an eye when i would walk through the neighborhood with two or three squrilles tied to my pants and a rifle over my shoulder and that was only about 30 years ago
And the countries with the most restrictive gun laws (Brazil etc.) have the most gun violence, the same goes for Illinois Chicago where people are shot every day despite people are not allowed to own them. Here in my village in Sweden everyone have have guns, no one gets shot! Greetings from Sweden! :)
Wyoming looks amazing, I really want to move there but I am not an American I am British, and I don’t know how to move to America but that has always been my dream
What you think about guns depends on were you live in the u.s ..in Wyoming guns mean history heritage and a way of life. A good life... but in our big and small crime filled urban city's is the u.s east coast.. west coast ... they mean another mother has lost a young child.. to gang violence.... and you don't get that child back. All depends on were you live.
I believe its Important to recognise the difference between bad people doing bad things with them, and Good people who have them as a means of Self defence, I'm English, Its only the Gangs who have them here, Shootings still happen, and Guns still get found, yet despite my nation Outlawing them, I as an individual view them positively because I know, I would only have one for the right reasons... and I know I can handle them safely as I shot them when I was in the United States, It was a great experience and not something I am able to do once a week here unfortunately, what bad people do is on their back, but those of us who are law abiding should not be left defenceless and at the mercy of evil people, Its a good thing to be able to bare arms.
At 7 a young boy in Wyoming started learning to shoot a gun, get good grades and stay away from drugs. Meanwhile in California a 7 year old boy is trying on dresses and getting ready for a dose of hormones to change his gender with approval from his 2 dads. Thank god there is a place of sanity left in this country.
We habe lost of liberals but they love guns amd hunting too. We do have far right but no far left. Love my liberal friends. We dont fall into the political crap like the rest of you do. We have our beliefs and just want to be left alone.
Moved here from Texas 5 years ago and love it. Th crime rate is so low here its almost shocking. I carry my sidearm less here than when i lived in Texas because of the lower crime rate and open carry is legal here .

Just remember, it's the UNITED states of America. Where every state has it's own laws, rules, and regulations. Not very UNITED when you look at the big picture.
duce wags I like where you are going with that. If a state violates the Constitution, like CA has, they should be ejected from the union. Cut off all ties except to send ammo to those that are willing to take their state back from the idiots. Of course I say that tongue in cheek, but there really needs to be a drawdown of law breaking. And violating the Constitution is just that.
Bad President you cannot expect high density populated states like California, Illinois, and New York to be exactly like Wyoming and Montana when it comes to guns. The results would be disastrous.
@@robertpreskop4425 In other words, you can't expect people in Liberal-run cities to behave morally and respect human life. I agree. People who have come to believe that the government owes them a living and that it's okay to take things from others to make their own lives better are _never_ going to act like _actual_ adults (or even like the children in this video). A bunch of toddlers, throwing a fit and hurting people when they don't get their way. That about sums it up. Maybe it's time for them to grow up and join the rest of us.
ah. All that .gov real estate only exists to give concrete jungle denizens a place to see the outdoors and not to be lived on or taken care of by people who know what it takes to live here. But hey I'm sure someone who had never spent more than a couple of summer internships out here knows more than the people who only (or never) left to go to an Urban University...
I was about 11 years old when I started quail hunting caring a shotgun near grandfather and few other people, you learn to handle safely a firearm. never seen an accident.
This is what gun ownership is all about. Great Americans in this video teaching the next generation to love and respect the country they are born to represent.
Me too. Then the law abiding citizens would have access to the same guns the criminals use! I've never heard a meth head say "Well, I guess I'll have to turn in this 30 round magazine and take the pistol grip off my rifle!" Doesn't happen.
Soldiers don't use eye protection when they are outside the wire when doing patroling or other missions kid. Maybe at a gun range you have too due to liability issue. But you don't have too unless you want too.
trem jim I hear ya! I’m right over the line in R.I. but not for long, moving to Wyoming in 2 months with my wife and 2 little boys! Can’t wait to learn how to hunt and get better at fishing and kayaking! And buying more guns! The whole concealed carry without a permit or license has me so amazed!

I think personally its good that these people have & are RESPONSIBLE of their firearms. As long as they can control things i think it should be no problem.
Still, that can't be required because the government is not a legitimate source of restriction.
