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 October 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 →
Document your collection. Keep it private.
This map runs on the same reciprocity dataset that powers CaliberBase Vault — built to keep more than permits: your firearms, ammo, gear, NFA items, and the documents that go with them, all in one private record.
Most collections exist only in memory, with no record of what's actually there before a theft, a fire, or an estate makes you wish you had one. CaliberBase Vault encrypts everything on your own device with AES-256 before it's ever stored — your key stays with you, and even CaliberBase can't see inside your vault.
