GunKit includes conceal and carry laws for all 50 states and it's simple... enter your primary permit and non-resident permits and select a state manually or with GPS and the app tells you if you're legal to carry!  State laws are also displayed along with supporting documentation such as "Must I inform the officer if stopped?", "Is it legal to carry in restaurants that serve alcohol?", "How do I transport my firearms if I don't have a permit?" and more.

### 1/5 — Not working No updates

*2022-12-19, version 4.0*

Just another developer after the money then forgets it.

### 3/5 — Please Update the Laws

*2019-08-14, version 4.0*

I would have loved to give this app five stars. When I first downloaded it all the laws were accurate and up to date. However, no laws have been updated since 2017. There are several states that have made significant changes to their gun laws, specifically concealed carry.

### 3/5 — Update needed

*2019-02-12, version 4.0*

So far this good but you need to update gun laws for the colleges in Texas

### 5/5 — GunKit app

*2017-11-17, version 4.0*

Nice app.  Just got the update and am up and running!

### 4/5 — IOS11

*2017-10-12, version 3.0*

Please update to work on Apple iPhone IOS 11.

### 3/5 — Will not play an entire podcast non stop

*2017-05-29, version 3.0*

I like the ability to listen to Cam & Company. However, after about 40 minutes the audio stops. I can restart it and advance the timeline but the podcast is so long it is nearly impossible to find the exact point where you left off. Now I usually just listen until it stops and then I give up. Same results on wifi and cellular.

### 4/5 — Update for Illinois needed

*2014-03-24, version 2.0*

Great app but needs update for Illinois permit holders

### 5/5 — Needs Illinois update

*2014-03-09, version 2.0*

Great app but needs updated to allow users to add Illinois licenses.

### 5/5 — Best gun law resorce

*2013-02-14, version 2.0*

If you want to stay informed with the current battle of the government trying to take our rights, get this app to stay informed on what you have to look out for and staying up to date with the new proposed laws and potential bans, grate app for all gun news.

### 5/5 — Great app and customer service

*2013-01-30, version 2.0*

App works great.  Radio crash is fixed in this version.  I contacted the developer and asked if he would include the full TX Concealed Handgun Law and he added it in a couple hours.  Great customer service!
