The actual laws of each state are readily available, complete with no misinformation that is possible (or likely, perhaps) in forum posts. That being the case, there's no need for me to repeat what the laws are in my state.
What I can do is talk a bit about the firearms/citizen's rights culture, and that, in my experience, varies more from region to region within a state than it does from state to state. In my area of Idaho, gun ownership is extremely common, to the point of being very close to universal. If you walk around town and into a couple stores for a half hour, you're almost guaranteed to see at least a couple people open carrying handguns. It's common to see 12-13 year old kids carrying fixed blade hunting knives in the public library or in a store. The county sheriff has explicitly stated that he will not enforce any more Federal firearms laws (unsure, at this time, as to his stance on current 2A infringements, like NFA items).
The area I came from in Ohio is relatively 2A friendly, comparatively speaking. Concealed carry is very common, (I was an instructor), open carry can be observed on rare occasions with few paying much attention to it and kids walking along the side of the road carrying rifles or shotguns headed to their hunting area don't draw a second glance.
So, that area of Ohio could be dropped into many parts of Idaho and in many ways fit in better than certain parts of Idaho do, like Boise (from what I hear). Other parts of Ohio, like Cleveland or Columbus, would fit in just fine with the stereotype of NYC.
