Carry Guard: Carry Information App (Passes & Membership)

The Carry Guard app organizes state-by-state carry rules around the permits you hold. Try it with a one-time 1-, 7- or 14-day pass, or join the membership (billed every 30 days) and get four online safety courses to keep.

Carry Guard is an informational app for permit holders who travel or want to stay current. Save your home state and permits once in your Carry Profile, and the app shows a personal state-by-state map, summaries of each state's rules, alerts when rules change, and a news feed on reciprocity and permit updates. An AI assistant answers general questions using your saved permits and shows the source and review date for rule information. Carry Guard is a reference tool, not legal advice: laws change and can vary by city, so always confirm current law with official state sources or a licensed attorney before you travel. Your membership also includes four online educational courses, which you keep even if you cancel the app.
