I got some esplaining to doooo!!
the top of the chart has 3 rows of state names,, next to each state name you may find a O, that means open carry friendly, or a G, that means gold star state.
you may see an underline beneath an O or G, that means it is a concealed carry state with out a CPL, constitutional carry... notice all that all the Os and Gs and underlines are in a row under the heading of 2A...
next to that is a row labeled Wa, this is what you get with a wash CPL, you get a big black check mark, that means you can conceal in that state. or you will get a big black "L",with a big black check close to it, that means you have licensed open and concealed carry in that state.
the next row is what you get with a utah CPL in addition to your 2A and your Wash CPL.
in some states you will see a (check mark) and and maybe the big L with the notation "Fla CPL, or non res CPL" to denote the possibility of getting a CPL in that state.
the bottom left list shows that,,
US residents get 29 OC states and
3 CC states for free!!
Wash CPL adds 3 licensed OC states and
19 CC states =33 OC states and 22 CC states for 58$
utah CPL adds 3 licensed OC states and
9 CC states = 36 OC sts. and 31 CC sts. for 136$
oregon adds 1 CC states = 32 CC sts. for 15$
Iowa will sign a new law on 1-1-2011 that will honor most all CPLs.
adding 1 LOC st. and 1 CC st. for free

then new jersey for LOC and CC for 20 $

= 41 open carry states and 42 concealed states
this is really the most we washingtonions can get,,, id like colorado, but they dont like us, even though they like just about everyone else.
in the bottom left we see,,
O= open friendly state ,, G= gold star state
_=free, concealed carry state, (check mark) =CC with that state license
L(check)= licensed, open and concealed carry state
UOC= unloaded open carry, ROC = loaded rural open carry
UFP= unloaded fanny pack, ULB= unloaded lock box
on the bottom right we see list to denote unlicensed car carry
these 3 letter codes are by most states in the top lists.
CNR= car carry, no restrictions
CCV= car carry, clearly visible
CCU= car carry, unloaded
CCC= car carry, in the console or glove box
CUC= car carry, unloaded in gun case
OCDtN= open car carry, with duty to notify the cop
CCP= car carry only with permit(CPL)
NCC= NO car carry!
P circle slash = no state preemption, other states have it but many are watered down!!
all my info comes from OCDO, MAPS, STATES,, and handgunlaw.us, state info, including D.C. thats 51 look ups in both web sites.
there is conflicting info in these and other info sights, no way to be certain.
this is the best i want to do right now!!
other things to add when i find the resources, states that have,,,
castle doctrine, duty to retreat, stand your ground, and duty to notify.
