June 29, 2021 — Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon and Secretary of State Ed Buchanan have sent a letter to the National Rifle Association (NRA) inviting the NRA to explore moving its Virginia operation to Wyoming. The NRA is currently headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C.

According to the Governor’s Office, the letter highlights the state’s business-friendly tax environment, Wyoming’s eager workforce, and the population’s strong support for Second Amendment rights. 

Governor Gordon is a lifetime member of the NRA.

Secretary of State Ed Buchanan is an avid hunter, firearms enthusiast, and longtime member of the NRA.  In a Tuesday press release, Buchanan stated, “I received my first rifle on the ranch when I was age 12 and have had a great reverence for the Second Amendment ever since.”  As the Secretary of State, he has also continued to recruit firearms and ammunition manufacturers to Wyoming.

“Wyoming citizens value our state’s customs, culture, and pro-second amendment laws,” Governor Gordon said. “We will always protect personal freedoms and those of businesses involved in the firearms industry. All of this, plus our great hunting and other outdoor opportunities, make Wyoming an ideal place for the National Rifle Association to consider home.”
