Observations while thumbing through the 27th edition of State Laws and Published Ordinances-Firearms provided by the ATF, and excluding city and county municipal codes. The winner of the state with the smallest section is Wyoming, with ½ a page. I was surprised to find Vermont next with 1 ¼ page. Alabama, Iowa, and Kansas had less than three pages each. Supposedly restrictive Massachusetts and Illinois had only 17 ¾ and 9 ¾ respectively, although IL has eleven pages of city codes to MASS‘s two. But the overwhelming winner was California, with over 46 pages, plus 20 pages of city codes.
Quite a load for a firearms dealer to keep up with. The entire Federal code dealing with firearms dealers, Title 27 CFR Part 478, covers only 40 pages, and in bigger print at that.
Obviously this is a pretty subjective rating system, it only takes one restrictive ordinance to skew how gun friendly any particular state is.
