Order online, pick up at a licensed dealer in Park County. Cody is Buffalo Bill's town at the east entrance to Yellowstone, a ranching, tourism and firearms-manufacturing city in the Bighorn Basin. Park County dealers take transfers and Wyoming adds no permit or wait.
Pick an FFL dealer near you that accepts shipped transfers and name it at checkout. We confirm their license and ship the firearm to them. Ammunition, optics and parts ship straight to your door where Wyoming law allows.
Wyoming has no purchase permit, no registration and no waiting period. The dealer runs the federal background check when you complete ATF Form 4473. Federal age limits apply: 21 for a handgun from a dealer, 18 for a long gun. The firearm ships to the Wyoming dealer you name at checkout.
Dealers in these communities all work for Cody-area buyers:
Wyoming allows permitless concealed carry for adults 21 and over who are not prohibited, extended to non-residents in 2021, and open carry is lawful. The concealed firearm permit is still issued by the Attorney General through the Park County Sheriff and adds reciprocity. Courthouses, schools, government meetings and posted property remain off limits.
Wyoming manages deer and antelope by numbered hunt area, with residents buying most general licences over the counter and non-residents applying in a draw that closes in the spring. Rifle seasons run mostly in October, with dates set per hunt area. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal; carry bear spray in grizzly country.
Park County is the east gate of Yellowstone, with elk, mule deer, bighorn and grizzlies in the Absarokas; residents buy general licences and non-residents draw, with rifle seasons in October and early November.
The Absaroka elk and mule deer hunts are steep and long, so this is magnum-rifle country, and grizzly presence keeps big-bore revolvers on hips year-round.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out.

Each dealer sets its own fee, commonly $20 to $75. Call before you order to confirm the price and that they accept firearms shipped from an online store.
