"Via" names the permit(s) this appears to work through. A caveat, when shown, calls out a resident-only rule, a permit-class limit, or another condition worth reading before you rely on it. None of this replaces reading the official source it links to.

This is information, not legal advice.

Carry law is set by each state and can change abruptly. Always confirm with the destination state's own official source (linked beside every state above) before you travel.

Dataset last checked September 2026. Every state above also carries its own confirmation date — this is periodic, manual, official-source verification, never an automatic feed. States marked partially verified or unverified are flagged rather than guessed. See what's actually changed, by month →
