Least And Most Gun Friendly States

This one is even outdated as of now. For instance Texas laws have changed dramatically. We are now CC compared to April where we were permitted carry only. But if I may note at least this one looks far more trustworthy sense the grammar and spelling isn’t completely off like the one @10mmLife posted.

Agreed. It's important to have access to the most current laws / restrictions of all states., at least the one living in or visiting. Recent changes are difficult keeping up on except when going to each states website and even that can be hard keeping up on sometimes. Used to be many laws varied little over the years, even firearm laws. Now days? Am thinking the good, bad and uglies of the internet and computers have changed that sometimes making some things easier and some things more difficult like these articles could. Good or not, the media is an influence on most anything.

News seems to travel quicker now days too, many times inaccurately stating things that are either outdated, blown out of proportion or importance. Too many times for just glorification or hits somewhere on someones website. It can all help or hinder to contribute to new laws and regulations.

Unfortunately, the delete feature doesn't delete all the outdated or misinformation or updates so far as I know. If it's printed or shown on a computer screen, right or wrong, it's out there somewhere, in many cases sometimes distorting something else. There's things still out and seen the from the very beginning of the WEB still floating around. Dating info helps, but it isn't a cure all. To me, it's a sign of over-regulation in some areas, under regulation in others and poor choices here and there. Many to do with over regulation when it comes to our freedoms.
 
Does the state have constitutional carry? Is there a castle doctrine? Do you have restrictive magazine laws? Can you carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle? Is there a waiting period for purchases? Are there excessive gun free areas? Can you open carry? Do you have to register your gun for a permit? Is there reciprocity with other states? Is your state considering many gun laws each and every year whether passed or not? Do you have public gun ranges? Is hunting easy or difficult? Are open seasons restricted to tag lotteries? Do you have restrictions on lead for hunting?
If you live in a gun friendly state and commute to one that is not, can you legally take your gun with you?
 
Not surprised that my beloved Garden State (NJ) comes in at #46. The nitwits under the gold dome in Trenton, however, are doing their best to make sure we come in at #50!!!
Our governor has a whole anti-2A plan he's angling to implement and has another 4 years to get it done.... He was just re-elected. Ugh.
 
Thank you for the list. Things change and sometimes improve! Ohio is better than last year and expected it would be darker blue.
Rankings based:
  • Number of firearm jobs
  • Average Wage of firearm jobs
  • Guns per Capita
  • Gun laws/restrictions

Skewed by firearms jobs....
 
Here's another reason NY gun laws are ridiculous. In NYC (Queens being one of the 5 boroughs of the city), they consider pellet, BB guns, and I suppose Air Soft guns, as firearms, with all laws pertaining the same to them. I know they would treat them as such if you had them on the street, not sure about being in the home however. In any case, sounds like this woman is living the nightmare of NY firearm laws.

Same in NJ. Pellet/BB guns are considered firearms and required an FID to purchase. There is no transfer fee but you are issued a Certificate of Eligiblity, just as if it were a rifle/shotgun. But NJ being who they are makes it even nuttier... if you have a pellet/BB gun that is "too quiet" that can be an additional charge for having a suppressed firearm. Airsoft and paintball guns are not considered firearms.

Yup, I lived in NJ for my first 25 years, and at the age of 16 (Late 60's early 70), my Father had to obtain a permit with two references to buy my Crossman single shot .22 pellet pistol. I live in Pa. now, but still have friends in NJ. One wanted a pellet rifle, and asked if I could get him one. I told him he could buy one at a Pa. Walmart near him with no ID requirements. I was amazed to find out that you even need the FID card to purchase pellet or BB ammunition in NJ, whereas in Pa. just take it up to the registers and pay like any other ammunition like shotgun shells, etc., (being of legal age for the real stuff).
I'm glad I moved out of there.

I used to have a rubber band gun thingy. And one of those Nerf guns that “poofs” that gynormous bullet off the end. Ain’t real accurate - neither am I for that matter 🙄 - but it’ll cover a living room. Maybe a bank lobby.
 
Massachusetts had a long standing law against owning a bb/pellet rifle unless you had an FID or LTC. They changed that law in the early 2000's when they tried unsuccessfully to make paintball guns illegal with an FID or LTC by classifying them as firearms. Massachusetts lost the case and air guns became legal once more.
 
I find it odd that I live in a Constitutional carry state and we're ranked 35 (behind even California) Gotta call BS there, but who knows. I did notice that firearms jobs and wages were a factor, and my state is generally business unfriendly anyway.
