A Wyoming lawmaker is pushing a bill to use a firing squad as an alternative method of execution for condemned state inmates.

FOX News Radio’s Jeff Monosso reports:

Wyoming Republican State Senator Bruce Burns introduced a bill to allow firing squads in cases of constitutional issues with lethal injections or if the drugs are unavailable. Burns says current state law calls for using a gas chamber, but none exists in Wyoming, that they’re expensive to build, and that a firing squad is cheaper.
