While you're checking permits

Track these permits, free

A reciprocity check tells you where you can carry today. CaliberBase Carry remembers it: save the permits shown above with renewal reminders, so you're never caught with an expired card.

Own a firearms collection too, and want it insured, valued, and encrypted the same careful way? CaliberBase Vault is the sibling product for that.

Permits with reminders
Renewal dates tracked per state, alongside the reciprocity picture above.
Free, no card required
Permit tracking is the whole product — no trial clock, nothing to cancel.
Encrypted at rest
Your permit details are encrypted on our servers — a different, lighter-weight scheme than the on-device encryption Vault's collection records use, since there's no collection data at stake here.

"Via" names the permit(s) this appears to work through. A caveat, when shown, calls out a resident-only rule, a permit-class limit, or another condition worth reading before you rely on it. None of this replaces reading the official source it links to.

This is information, not legal advice.

Carry law is set by each state and can change abruptly — sometimes mid-year, sometimes by a single court ruling. Always confirm with the destination state's own official source (linked beside every state above) before you travel, and don't rely on this page, or any single source, as the final word.

Dataset last checked September 2026. Every state above also carries its own confirmation date — this is periodic, manual, official-source verification, the same posture CaliberBase Vault takes with all of its state resource links, never a real-time or automatic feed. States marked as partially verified or unverified are flagged rather than guessed. See what's actually changed, by month →
