ATF Guide to State Gun Laws

Along with the Guide to Federal Regulations, the ATF offers a free downloadable guide to State Laws and Published Ordinances. The latest version found online was the 28th Edition, drafted in 2007 and revised in September 2008. This 486-page PDF guide covers all 50 states, and provides a "Ready Reference Table" to assist gun dealers and FFLs comply with all state laws when selling or transferring arms.

This is a very useful resource, but please be reminded that you should check for updates or changes in state laws since this document was published four years ago. To aid in that task, the ATF's State Law Guide has a complete list of state Attorneys General Offices with contact information. The ATF also provides answers to Frequently Asked Questions on its website. Other ATF Publications are available at http://www.atf.gov/publications/firearms/.
