Wyoming Gun Owners Stand Your Ground

2016, 2017, 2018, Wyoming

In 2016, Wyoming Gun Owners (WYGO) Executive Director Anthony Bouchard was elected to the Wyoming State Senate. Bouchard contacted his long time friend, Aaron Dorr, and asked him to take over the work of WYGO, just days before the start of the 2017 session.

WYGO was in some state of disarray at that time, and much of the 2017 legislative session was consumed with reorganizing the organizations paperwork with the IRS and the State of Wyoming.

But after having led the fight to pass Stand-Your-Ground law in Missouri (2016) and Iowa (2017,) and with Wyoming being the only western state without a Stand-Your-Ground law, Aaron was determined to pass this crucial legislation in Wyoming in 2018.

MOFC Constitutional Carry

2015, 2016, Missouri

In 2015, the Missouri Firearms Coalition (MOFC) was formed to address the state’s lack of Constitutional Carry and Stand-Your-Ground law.

With an overwhelming Republican majority in both chambers, it was surprising to Missourians that they were being ‘left behind’ as so many other states were advancing this legislation.

The Chairman of the Board for MOFC, Dr. Curt Frazier, knew that the Dorr Brothers were working on similar legislation in nearby Iowa, and asked them to assist in the fight that was brewing in Jefferson City.

Late in 2015, Aaron recruited then-State Representative Eric Burlison to carry this legislation for MOFC members, and H.B. 1408 was pre-filed on December 4, 2015.

Aaron and Chris immediately began whipping up support for this legislation in an effort to obtain cosponsors on the bill, both inside the legislature, and amongst gun owners across the state.
