Free Wyoming Gun / Firearm Bill of Sale

Wyoming has been a Constitutional Carry state since 2011 and passed the Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act (W.S. 6-8-402 through 6-8-406), asserting state independence from federal firearms regulations for guns manufactured and kept within Wyoming. Private party firearm sales between Wyoming residents require no background check, no registration, and no waiting period — but a written bill of sale is still the seller's best protection if the gun is ever reported stolen or linked to a crime after the sale.

Wyoming Requirements: The title assignment must be notarized. Transfer title within 45 days. 4% sales tax.

Wyoming Gun / Firearm Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist

Confirm the buyer is a Wyoming resident and is not a prohibited person (felony conviction, domestic violence misdemeanor, adjudicated mental defect) — ask directly and document the answer in the bill of sale.
Record the firearm's make, model, caliber or gauge, and serial number exactly as it appears on the receiver.
Include the sale price, date, and full names and addresses of both buyer and seller.
Both parties sign and date the bill of sale; each keeps a copy.
Seller retains their copy indefinitely — if the firearm is ever reported stolen or used in a crime after the sale, the dated bill of sale is the seller's primary documentary defense.
For a machine gun, confirm ATF has approved the Form 4 before transferring. For suppressors and short-barrel rifles, ATF stopped requiring approval on October 9, 2026; Wyoming law has no ban on suppressors or short-barreled rifles and shotguns.

Common Pitfalls

Selling to a visibly impaired or obviously prohibited buyer: Wyoming's no-background-check rule for private sales does not override federal law. Knowingly selling to a prohibited person is a federal felony regardless of state law.
No serial number documentation: if a firearm is later stolen from the buyer or used in a crime, a seller without a bill of sale recording the serial number has no documentary proof the gun left their possession on a specific date.
Machine gun transfer without paperwork: a machine gun needs an approved ATF Form 4 even in Wyoming. Handing one over without approval is a federal felony.
Assuming Wyoming Firearms Freedom Act eliminates all federal obligations: the Act (W.S. 6-8-402 and 6-8-404) covers only firearms, accessories and ammunition made in Wyoming that stay entirely within Wyoming. Guns made in other states are still subject to federal law.

Pro Tip

Keep your gun bill of sale in the same file as your other firearm purchase records. Wyoming's permissive environment means transactions are easy — but the paper trail is the only thing that separates you from liability if a firearm resurfaces under bad circumstances years after the sale.

Wyoming Gun / Firearm Bill of Sale — FAQs

Do I need a background check to buy a gun privately in Wyoming?

No. Wyoming does not require a background check for private party firearm sales between residents. Federal law requires licensed dealers (FFLs) to run a NICS background check, but private party sales are exempt from this requirement under both Wyoming and federal law.

Is firearm registration required in Wyoming?

No. Wyoming has no firearm registration requirement. There is no state database of gun owners, and private sales are not reported to any state or local agency.

Can I legally sell a suppressor in Wyoming?

Yes. Since October 9, 2026, ATF no longer requires a Form 4 approval or registration before a suppressor changes hands, and the federal tax has been $0 since January 1, 2026. Wyoming law does not ban suppressors, short-barreled rifles or short-barreled shotguns (the weapons chapter of the criminal code, W.S. 6-8-101 to 6-8-406, has no such offense). Federal rules on prohibited persons and out-of-state buyers still apply, so sell only to a Wyoming resident who may legally own firearms.

Why should I bother with a bill of sale if Wyoming doesn't require one?

The bill of sale protects the seller. If the buyer later uses the firearm in a crime or it is reported stolen, a dated bill of sale with the buyer's name, address, and signature proves the gun changed hands on a specific date. Without it, the seller's name may remain the last documented owner in any law enforcement database.
