Notes

Notes:
HB234 will go a long way in protecting the 2nd Amendment Rights of all Wyomingites.  Specifically, this bill prevents all Wyoming governmental agencies from knowingly or willfully keeping or causing to be kept any list, record or registry of privately owned firearms or any list, record or registry of the owners of those firearms created or maintained through the use of a firearms code or any other merchant category code. 

The bill also prevents merchants from:

- using or assigning firearms merchant category codes that distinguished a merchant from a general merchandise retailer or sporting goods retailer. 

- discriminating against a merchant or customer located in Wyoming by declining a lawful payment card transaction, limiting or declining to do business with a firearms retailer or customer for a lawful transaction or charging a higher transaction or interchange fee to any merchant or customer for a lawful payment card transaction based solely on the assignment or nonassignment of a firearms code or any other merchant category code.

- take any action against a merchant or customer located in Wyoming that is intended to prohibit or suppress lawful commerce involving firearms, firearm accessories or components or ammunition.
