Posted! Carry List Anti - Gun Locations
$0.99

This application is something every gun owner needs. Its purpose is for the legal and conscientious concealed carry license holder to know where they cannot legally carry before they make plans. 

A licensed permit holder or a resident of a constitutional carry state can usually legally carry their firearm in any location other than statutory "no carry" locations such as schools, Gov. Buildings and in businesses that are posted prohibiting firearms. This provides a list of those Posted Anti-Gun businesses. 

Before making hotel accommodations, dinner reservations or plans for a night on the town, check this app to ensure you won’t have to disarm in the parking lot or return home if you do not have a place to safely store your firearm. If you know beforehand, you can avoid the places that prohibit carry, or you can leave your firearm at home if you must attend. 

You may also want to add pro-gun alternatives that do not prohibit carry so you can search for pro-gun substitutes to the anti-gun businesses and easily add new ones to the list every time you experience firearm-friendly service.

You are also encouraged to take action if you so choose. With this app you can call or email a listed business to let them know your opinion!
