2A Maps

About 2A Maps

2A Maps puts every state gun law map on Minuteman University.com on one screen. Pick an operation to put that map on the main display, tap any state for its current status, or open a state’s dossier to see where it stands on all 21 issues at once, from constitutional carry and suppressors to red flag laws and preemption. Each map is checked against current law and dated, and the state notes explain recent changes, court rulings and laws that are passed but not yet in effect.

The 2A Freedom Score counts how many of the scored maps place a state in the most pro-gun-owner category. It is a quick way to compare states, not a legal rating; always check the current law where you live and travel.
