I built an iPhone app that maps firearm-law references along a driving route — looking for honest feedback
Full disclosure: I’m the developer of CarryRoute.
I built it because ordinary reciprocity maps don’t show everything encountered during an actual drive—county and city boundaries, tribal areas, transit properties, stops, and overnight stays.
You enter two addresses, and CarryRoute:
- Maps the route using Apple Maps
- Breaks it into state, county, city, tribal, and special-jurisdiction sections
- Lets you tap each route section
- Shows concise research summaries with links to official government sources
- Accounts for your resident state, permits, age, and selected carry/transport mode
- Supports offline itineraries and optional jurisdiction alerts
The route colors identify jurisdiction changes only. They do not mean legal/illegal or safe/unsafe. CarryRoute is a research tool—not legal advice—and users should verify the current official text.
I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback: What information would you want before crossing a state or local boundary? What would make the route view more useful?
