Federal gun laws in the US undergo changes every election cycle, but not as dramatically as some would think. In general, the federal government allows states to create and maintain the majority of the country’s gun laws. The 2nd amendment of the US constitution specifically protects a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms.
Wyoming is a Constitutional Carry state which allows its citizens the freedom to openly carry long guns and handguns. Further, residents of Wyoming may conceal carry handguns without a permit or license. Although, there are restricted areas where no firearms are allowed, such as schools and government buildings.
Maine gun laws are considered to be lax by its neighboring states, with its minimum restrictive policies on ownership and carrying. Although blue during election times, this northern state is full of gun enthusiasts and supporters. More severe Gun Control laws were brought to the vote late in 2019 and they were shut down by the state senate.
Alabama gun laws are gun-friendly, which is considered typical for a southern “red” state. The State Constitution declares a fundamental right to bear arms as an essential principle of Liberty.
"A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
