Description:
Laramie, Wyoming, criminal defense lawyer represents the Defendant charged with brandishing or pointing a firearm.
Reported by Kent Morlan
Rihanna Kelver, who is transgender, age 28, drew her gun after she had been pushed down in the street during a brief confrontation with three men.
Wyoming does not require gun owners to register their weapons and allows people to carry firearms concealed or in the open without a permit. The state’s Firearms Freedom Act declares that guns made and kept within state lines are exempt from federal regulations, and its “stand your ground” law allows people to use force to defend themselves if they reasonably believe their safety is threatened. The law says they do not have a duty to retreat if they are not the initial aggressor.
