Corner Crossing is Not a Crime...Right?

Corner Crossing is Not a Crime…Right?

Wyoming State legislators just advanced a “Corner Crossing Clarification” bill in the House by a 32-28 vote, and it is now headed to the Senate where it may face additional headwinds and potential amendments. The legislation seeks to codify and decriminalize corner crossing in Wyoming’s criminal code in the wake of the landmark 10th Circuit Court decision that affirmed what we believed to be true all along–corner crossing between public land parcels is not a crime.

That’s a good thing, right? So why hasn’t BHA come out in support? Bear with us as we field dress this debate down to the bone.
