Good resources for checking laws on guns

Thought I'd share some of my favorite links for dispelling some of the FUD that sometimes pops up with discussion about guns.

http://www.handgunlaw.us/

http://opencarry.org/maps.html

Sort of a meta-site of places like handgunlaw.us, has graphical representation of things like open carry, concealed carry, airport carry, college carry..

Trip planner for someone intending to travel with their firearm. Lets you know how laws change as you cross state lines.
