App Recommendation for Laws

the1mu · November 18, 2013, 01:57 AM

I do a lot of traveling (in my car) and up to this point, I generally review and print off PDF's from handgunlaw.us for the states I'm visiting so that I can simply review them before I enter that state and put myself in the mindset regarding things like use of force, stand your ground, etc.

I have seen some apps (I have an iPhone) that claim to have all this info on your phone and I am interested. Every one of them is paid and before I go and buy, I was curious if anyone here has a recommendation on apps of this nature in general or if there are certain apps that are more accurate than others, etc.

Thanks for the input!

I have the CCW App from Workman Consulting on my iphone. It gets reasonably frequent updates and I haven't found any errors yet. It includes links directly to the State sites for verification (never depend on any non-official site !).

No ads - which is also a bonus.

Well, based on the overwhelming majority, I have decided to get the CCW app from Workman Consulting. It's nice that it is cheaper than a lot of the others and I do like how the post the actual laws, however I wish that in some sections they also posted a summary first so that I don't have to reread all the details for a refresher. But all in all a good app that fits the bill. Thanks jrwhitt!

Looks like a good app. Is this Workman as in Dave Workman?

Apple version is here.

Google version is here.

I've been using Legal Heat and have been happy with it. I think it was free.

Legal Heat is great.

An excerpt from Updates to the App:
