Fantastic idea, especially given how often packing is down. Though of an autoupdate script that would check for an updated xml file on startup and download it to keep it up to date?

Slated for a future version.
 
Hey zaijian, hate to nitpick, but I think it would be better if you had Green where you could CCW and red where you can't. I was messed up when I first used the program since I thought blue was where I could CCW.:eek: I was thinking "***, why is North Dakota red?" It took me a fer minutes for me to figure it out.

If not, then could you please include a key that tells what colors mean what?

I havent been able to open any of the formats given. Arghhh! I keep getting a Application error0the application failed to initialize proporly(0xc0000135) Click on ok to terminate the application. Anyone got any ideas!

Heh, fixed in version 1.1 - I turned into a very obvious red light/green light. I was an idiot when I first started and thought, red state/blue state :)

Sorry Mizzle, I don't have a solution to this problem yet, although a few other people seem to have run into it as well. Have you tried reinstalling .NET 1.1? If that doesn't work, how about trying 2.0?

1.1 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&DisplayLang=en
2.0 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...CB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en

This is what I had to do...

Once NET was installed (I downloaded 2.0), the database worked fine.

Neat application

Only beef I have is with our governments, not your program, it's awesome.

As an Oregonian, I can't pack in Washington and the closest neighboring states are Idaho and Montana.. And Oregon doesn't honor other states permits. And if I cover my bases and get a Washington permit, I can pack in in states more than 1000 miles away in most cases.

Goes to show how dysfunctional our state governments really are.....drat.


But again, what a neat application, nice work.

Hey Mods....

Once this is hosted, you should make this a floater.....

Keep in mind that even though this trys to be all inclusive, you should still read up on any state you carry in, not just go by this chart.....
 
I'd suggest changing the name to "May I carry?" "Can I" brings into question your physical abilty to carry. :)
