Wyo. Sup. Ct. R. 6
Weapons on Court Premises
(a) No dangerous weapon may be carried on the Wyoming Supreme Court’s
premises, except as provided in this rule. Wyoming Supreme Court Security
Offices and Wyoming Highway Patrol Troopers, when acting as Supreme Court
Security Officers, are authorized to request that any persons carrying a
dangerous weapon on the Supreme Court’s premises relinquish the weapon.
The weapon will be secured at the Court Security Office then returned to the
person when he/she leaves the Supreme Court’s premises, unless the Court
Security Officer or Trooper to whom the weapon was relinquished determines
that other law enforcement personnel should be involved. If a person carrying
a dangerous weapon refuses to relinquish the weapon, he/she shall be denied
access to the Supreme Court premises.
(b) As used in this policy, “dangerous weapon” means a firearm, explosive,
incendiary material, or any other implement or device capable of being used as
a deadly weapon, where such implement or device has no reasonable usage
related to the conduct of government business.
(c) Nothing in this policy prohibits the carrying of weapons on the Supreme
Court premises by Peace Officers, as defined and authorized by Wyoming
Statutes, who are acting in an official capacity and who are not parties to a case
currently before the Court. Peace Officers entering the Supreme Court Build-
ing shall disclose to Court Security Officers or Troopers acting as Court
Security Officers, that they are carrying a weapon or weapons into the facility.
(d) Exceptions to this rule may be granted on an individual basis by the
Court Security Officer, with the prior concurrence of the Court.
