No kidding. Even something as simple as keeping track of what one can do as you drive across country requires an app, or at least http://www.handgunlaw.us/. This is with a state issued carry license that has a patchwork of reciprocity. Literally what is legal in one place, is illegal in the next, and vis versa, just by crossing invisible lines.

Yup, Federal regulation is definitely the way to go. No more state regulation. Wait a minute...

Yes, I am not in favor of Federal regulation here, but that is somewhat off topic. Even still, I wanted to purposely point out information to those on HN who might not be familiar with the complexities of such a legal patchwork and what it results in.
