Gun Laws by State
A couple of days ago, I posted about preparing for our next road trip by investigating the gun laws of states we might potentially visit. I was using data available at the NRA-ILA for reference. In a comment to that post, Linoge, of Walls of the City, recommended HandGunLaw.us as a very good alternate for state gun laws.
I spent about a half hour visiting the HandGunLaw site today - it looks like their site is up to date and offers a more concise presentation of state gun laws. The summaries I consulted before were somewhat difficult to use, requiring you find the data embedded in paragraphs that weren’t consistent from state to state.
HandGunLaw.us has been added to the sidebar links under “Interesting Stuff.” Thanks to Linoge for sharing the information.

No worries.
Sharing useful information is always a good thing.

I checked all the ‘yellow’ states in the map and verified that they are all shall issue states. The legend doesn’t make that clear.

FWIW - SC allows non-resident property owners to get a concealed weapons permit

Thanks for bringing that to our attention, flashman.
I wonder what qualifies as ‘property’ for that. A winter condo or a spot in an RV park come to mind as opposed to residential or commercial property.

The Yellow states are “Shall Issue”. The info about them only accepting Resident Permits/Licenses from the states they honor was more important to us than marking them Shall Issue.
In SC if you are a non resident but own property you have to show where you paid property taxes on some type of property there to apply for a SC Non Resident permit.
Glad you foiund the info you were needing at Handgunlaw.us.
Stay safe,
