Firearms Research Center

The Firearms Research Center, housed in the University of Wyoming College of Law, was launched to establish more voices in the firearms discussion, to educate the next generation on firearms law, policy, and history, and to act as a reliable non-partisan resource for firearms-related information.

By bringing together scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines and experts without traditional academic backgrounds, the center fosters a broad discourse and produces meaningful change in how firearms are discussed and understood.

Thanks to a nearly $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s American History and Civics Education Program, the center recently launched Armed with Knowledge to help educators better understand the historical context and modern discussions surrounding the Second Amendment. The initiative provides access to primary sources, instructional materials, webinars, and scholars representing a range of perspectives.
