Gotta love Wyoming

The BATF gave a May 15 deadline for compliance, Crank and Martin wrote.

"Instead, the BATF placed an ultimatum on the Wyoming Attorney General: either capitulate to the BATF's illegal interpretations or the BATF will take actions against Wyoming citizens which would deprive them of their due process rights."

So Wyoming sued.

Besides the disputes about the meaning of "expunge" and the Carrying Concealed Weapon permits, Wyoming wants the court to declare the BATF violated the 10th Amendment's mandate that reserves to the states all powers not delegated to the federal government."The BATF's conclusion that it, instead of the Wyoming Attorney General, gets to decide 'that possession of a firearm by [certain CCW applicants] would be in violation of law' injures Wyoming's sovereignty and its legitimate state interest in the continued enforceability of its own statutes," according to the complaint.

Emphasis mine

I love it!

Heck. Our legislature has entertained a propoal to secede twice that I am aware of in the last several years. Each time it has come to the floor was due to a case where the state felt that the federal government was infringing upon state sovernty. The really big one was in the 70's when the Nixon admin and congress imposed to 55 mph limit. The state refused to comply and the feds threatend to cut off highway funding. The state countered with a proposal to place toll booths at every border crossing. Things got kinda heated and the proposal to secede was debated on the floor.
 
I was in Wyoming helping my sister out painting her house.

Anyway her husbands family had friends from CA visiting at the time. The local grocery store has deer and elk mounts on all of the walls, and the people from CA being from CA found the mounts to be VERY disgusting and even quite loudly said that the store should get rid of them immediately!

WELL, the words "chewed out" do not even start to describe what was said to them. The mild statement was "We like it like this. If you don't, go the hell away!"

The whole state is like that. If you don't say the word "change" they are fine, try to push your way of live on them and they get really really pissed off.
Just the way it should be!
 
It Makes me sad to know that leftists are ruining so many great places in my home state. Jackson used to be a nice town. A funny story, a few years ago I was home visiting. I was downtown in Thermopolis, at the hardware store and a guy come wheelin in and parked an old beat up pickup and bailed out and went in the store. Some tourists from Pa. were in there. well they saw this old ranch hand was totin iron and I thought this guy from back east was gonna drop a deuce right there. They started whisperin amongst themselves, the old woman clicked her tongue, and said "I cant believe that, isnt someone going to say something"? I just laughed and told them yes I would say something. When the hand walked up and got in line I said "Thats a damn fine old ford you got there" He thanked me and After the tourists went back out to thier camper I told him what had happened. We were both laughin fit to bust when they came back in. That old woman looked at me like I sh&t in her shoe. ERIC
 
I do service work and peoples homes

last year I drove out to do some work for an old customer... who lives on a farm. When I drove up I could see him down in the field on a tractor doing some plowing. he came up after a few minutes ..... hanging on his side was a Ruger 357.... took him up another knotch in my book.
 
A buddy and I left our horses at camp, came out of the Absaroka Mountains and headed into Cody, Wyoming. We went into the local IGA for more "supplies", both packin'. I had a Colt .45 Government and my buddy had a Ruger Blackhawk .44mag. The teenaged gal at the checkout didn't bat an eyelash, but the tourist family behind us was agast. Dad, sacasticly, "Expecting trouble?" Me, politely, "No." Dad, "then why do you have those guns?!?", my buddy, still politely, "Cause this is Wyoming." Mom, slightly paniced, "Why would anyone bring a GUN into a grocery store?!?" At that point the teenage cashier chimed in, "Oh, we sell them over in that corner." as she pointed past the family. "I'll call over the manager if you would like to look at any." Dad made some gurgelling noise, mom almost fainted and the family left in a big hurry. :D
 
June 20 finds me back in DuBois for the third time looking for the perfect relocation place. After some study last year, I toured Thermop, DuBois, the Pintlar Loop (MT) and other MT locations.

DuBois is the spot.

Just don't spread the word! :cool:

redhawk, there's a lot of country between Rupert and anywhere else... :cool:

As for the Stuart decision, I wouldn't think it plays. There's no constitutional issue here.
 
Congrats!!! You win the prize!! :cool:

They WERE from New Jersey, at least those were the plates on the stationwagon. Thus the local term... New Jersey Cowboy! :eek:
