Staying informed about concealed carry laws is more important than ever. Regulations change often, sometimes quietly, and it can be difficult for gun owners to keep up. To make that easier, Concealed Nation has launched a brand-new suite of interactive concealed carry maps, giving you fast, accurate, and state-by-state breakdowns of the most important firearm laws in the country.
These tools are free, mobile-friendly, and updated whenever laws change, making them some of the most comprehensive resources available to responsible concealed carriers.
What Our Interactive Maps Cover
We focused on four areas gun owners ask about most. Each map includes color-coded states, tap-to-view details, and easy-to-understand legal summaries.
1. Concealed Carry Reciprocity Map
Our most requested tool. Instantly see where your permit is valid and which states honor it. This map helps you plan road trips, travel safely, and avoid legal surprises when crossing state lines.
2. Duty to Inform Map
This map explains whether you must notify law enforcement that you’re carrying a firearm during a traffic stop or other encounter. It breaks states into:
- Yes – Mandatory notification
- Conditional – Only when asked
- No – No legal obligation
3. Castle Doctrine Map
This map outlines each state’s Castle Doctrine laws, helping you understand when you can lawfully use force inside your home, vehicle, or other occupied locations. Some states offer full protections; others have limitations, and this tool makes it easy to tell the difference.
4. Stand Your Ground Map
This map clarifies where Stand Your Ground laws apply and in what circumstances, helping gun owners understand their rights and responsibilities in public-place self-defense situations.
