Mark Spungin, President of the Wyoming State Shooting Association,
has an excellent column in the WSSA newsletter.
The July-Sept 2007 column is especially good, and most relevant.
His thesis:
Not all Wyoming residents are "Wyoming persons"...
and not all "Wyoming persons" are yet in Wyoming...
Mark moved to Wyoming from NY back in the early 1970s,
and is a true "Wyoming person."

WOW! Well done Mark!
I only hope I can live up to those expectations.
Thanks for the post Boston.
-
;DThat pretty well sums it all up. ;D
-
Straight into the desktop picture rotation. Thanks Mark!
-
Very Good!!! Maybe a print out sent to legisgators and city council type folks, etc. would help them think on this a little. Couldn't hurt!

Points 3-thru-9 float my boat right nicely :D

Wyoming by choice not freak of nature ..................... ;D

Yours In Armed Liberty! ~W~

So whats wrong with those quilities? Actually sounds like what Americans use to be. But there are few and fewer of those today that can abid by those beliefs.

This needs to be read by all. And, re-read by those who read it the first time.

Having just re-read Molon Labe my wife has "tuned in" more to my commentary. Best I figure, we are Wyoming people, just not moved yet. What a pleasure to see this newsletter. It reminds me of when I first contemplated having "intellectual peers" back during Kim DuToit's tenure, and the Book of Isaiah's "remnant." God bless you all!
-
Welcome carbinero! I look forward to getting to know you and your wife better. Don't be a stranger here!
-
That is a very powerful description, and easily could apply to what is an American.

The golden rule...expressed nine different ways...
I like it.

I am still stuck in South Carolina. After reading the Free Wyoming website, and what it is to a Wyoming person, the more I agreed qith it and it agreed with me. Unfortuniatley now grand babies are coming into play and grandma does not want to move out of the area. I am trieing to conence her that the time is coming that our Country as we had known it is fast approaching the end. I am a retired veteran who served a total of twenty eight years.
Even if I do not get to move to your Great State. In my heart your State and want for Freedom from a tyranical Government is the same.

Mark: You might consider sharing that, or writing it anew and sending along to the new paper, Liberty's Torch.
It's worthy of reprint, reposting, twittering, etc., as much as possible.
Thanks,
Kelly

Mr. Spungin's article defining a 'Wyoming Person' is one to warm the cockles of any true liberty-lovers heart. And the links to the newspaper's website are also helpful.
It's great to have this forum as a resource for those looking to live free among like-minded folks. Overall, the Rocky Mountain West is better than the rest of this nation, and being able to focus in on some of the realities of life in Wyoming make it more attractive - to me , at least.
My wife struggled a bit with reading "Molon Labe" - it is not something she would have selected on her own. She's not opposed to its message or content, just accustomed to reading novels of her own choosing for pleasure/entertainment in the evening (we don't watch TV other than VHS or DVD's) I can't blame her. She works 8 hours per day as a bookkeeper/office manager for a weekly newpaper here.
Anyways, I cannot help but wonder of Mark Spurgin and Gary Marbut (Pres of MSSA) are good friends. They certainly seem to be kindred souls.
I'll have to ask Gary after this Montana Legislative session ends. Just now he has his hands full herding cats in Helena.
FWIW,

Ooops. Spoke too soon.
As you are all undoubtedly aware, Liberty's Torch (and its website) are no longer operating since December 2012.
Is there a weekly or daily newspaper in Wyoming that someone here would be willing to recommend?
Thanks,

If you liked "What is a Wyoming person" you will surely like my Wyoming novel Neither Predator Nor Prey www.neitherpredatornorprey.com If you dislike thuggish roadblocks, you will really, really enjoy how real Wyoming people in NPNP deal with them. Looking forward to seeing you and yours in Wyoming.

Thanks! Just ordered a copy. Looks like a good read.
So... are you and Gary pals? Just curious, none of my business of course. But as the old saying goes, "Any friend of his (Gary Marbut), is a friend of mine."

Daily. I call it the Red Star Tribune. More liberal bias here (and the comment) than you'll find in places like NV where I used to live!
What makes a Wyoming person?
Maybe choosing to live in an area free (as possible) from regulations/zoning/covenants, knowing full well that the responsibility for clearing your 2 miles of road after a snowstorm so FedEx can get in with your wife's critical overnight medical prescription, falls on you, and even though you are feeling under the weather due to recent surgery, you suck it up and get 'r done. Now I can sit here and rest feeling good about my accomplishment.

Now that's creative writing in vivid detail, Mac. Unless, of course, you're the guy who did all that. In that case I'd say
you're a really Wyoming Person!
