APPLE WALLET QUICK REFERENCE
Add a card to Apple Wallet with your permits, a self-defense incident checklist, your CCW insurance hotline number, and duty-to-inform reminders - right from your lock screen.
ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE GUN LAWS
Most apps update their gun law databases occasionally. CCWCalc monitors state statutes, federal courts, and state courts continuously, so changes appear in the app within days - not months.
When Minnesota lowered its permit age to 18 and California was forced to allow carry on public transit, CCWCalc users knew immediately while other apps were still weeks behind.
YOUR PERSONALIZED CARRY MAP
Enter your permits, age, and military status and the map shows exactly which states you're covered in - color-coded by carry status. CCWCalc accounts for permit type precision, down to edge cases like Wisconsin honoring only non-resident permits from Florida and Virginia.
FOR EACH STATE
Full summaries of carry laws with links to the actual statutes:
• Permits offered, age and residency requirements
• Permitless carry, open carry, duty to inform
• Sign enforceability - including 30.06/30.07 in Texas - rest areas, public parks
• Businesses serving alcohol, magazine limits, assault weapon and handgun restrictions, preemption
• Purchase permits, waiting periods, background checks, storage and ghost gun laws
• Contact info for AG offices, state police, and CCW licensing agencies
BUYING & STORAGE ON THE ROAD
Can you buy a gun, or even ammunition, while traveling? Every state shows purchase permit requirements, waiting periods, and whether private sales need a background check, plus storage mandates, handgun rosters, and ghost gun bans, so a home-built or off-roster pistol never crosses the wrong border.
TEXAS SIGN TRACKER
Find every reported 30.06, 30.07, 51%, and Anti-2A sign in Texas. Thousands of community-verified businesses. Tap a pin for the full signage matrix and comments, suggest a fix, or add a missing business in a few taps.
INDIAN TERRITORY & TRIBAL JURISDICTION
Carry laws on tribal land are a legal maze most apps ignore. CCWCalc maps every federally recognized reservation and OTSA and breaks down which laws actually apply - federal, state, tribal, or some combination.
Each state's Indian Territory section covers PL 280 status, enabling acts, and constitutional provisions so you can understand whether state carry laws extend onto reservation land or whether tribal and federal law take over. If you're driving through Oklahoma, New Mexico, or any state with significant tribal land, this is information you need.
MILITARY BASES
On-base firearms policies, lodging, pet policies, and contact info for 169 installations and 176 on-base hotels across all branches and joint bases.
LAW CHANGE ALERTS
When laws change in states you're covered in, you'll know about it when you open the app - not when you read about it somewhere else months later.
PERMIT MANAGEMENT
Store all your permits in one place. Get push notification reminders when expirations are approaching so a lapsed permit never catches you off guard.
WHY CCWCalc?
Built by gun owners who've lived in multiple states, held multiple permits, and driven cross-country while carrying. CCWCalc treats reciprocity as the genuinely complex legal question it is instead of flattening it into yes/no answers.
Don't travel on stale information. The legal stakes are too high.
