iPhone App Alert: Pocket Guide for Concealed Weapon Laws

With a clever name and a repository of government information about concealed carry laws, iBearArms has its sights set on becoming the mobile resource for gun owners on the go.

Updated last week, iBearArms offers information on state laws for concealed weapons and other helpful tidbits such as forbidden areas, permit costs as well as government maps, phone numbers and a FAQs section.

iBearArms iPhone Application

At a cost of $2.99, the app has been extraordinarily helpful to those whose states are covered, but has garnered some criticism for not covering all 50 states.

“I would easily pay 10 times the asking price if this application included all the states,” Zion8343 wrote on AppStoreHQ.com. “This app has the potential to be the definitive CCW firearms guide — especially since it takes the information directly from the state resources.”

Despite coverage setbacks, iBearArms appears to be gaining a lot of momentum. The application appeared in the top 100 paid apps this week — two months after its release!

The states covered by the app includes:

  • Alabama
  • Alaska
  • Arkansas
  • California
  • Colorado
  • Connecticut
  • Idaho
  • Illinois
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Michigan
  • North Carolina
  • Oregon
  • South Carolina
  • Utah
  • Virginia
  • Washington

    A new app that features all 50 states concealed carry laws, transport laws, attorney general information, etc. has been added to the Itunes store today.
    It’s an adaption from the popular traveler’s guide “Legal Heat: 50 State Guide to Firearm Laws” and is available under the same name. $1.99.
