Handgunlaw.us  has added a listing of all the states with Permitless Carry and a short description and a link to the states statutes that provides for Permitless Carry. The link is in the left column of the main page at      www.handgunlaw.us      I like to make documents fit on one page and have added a link on the document for a printer friendly edition of the document.  Some pages when converted to PDF’s break at odd places so the document can be up to a paper size of 8 ½ X 20. I have also put printer friendly links to the States Honoring my Permit and Permits My State Honors Documents.
