Florida.
Everything legal at the federal level is legal in Florida. The "shall-issue" Florida CCW accepted by more states. CCW exempt from waiting period. State firearms laws supersede all local laws. The right of the individual to keep and bear arms is written in the State Constitution.

Glad to see New Mexico on that list. I'm half-seriously thinking of a move there.

Look on the Brady List. Most the states listed there are D- or F. I don't understand Sarah's grading system, but it should serve as a start.

TN doesnt have too many complaints. No real provision on that you have to carry concealed....just able to carry. So if you flash by accident you are totaly lible to loose your permit. but defintaly not the coolest in terms of people and their attitues, the general masse or as i call them the sheeple

Washington is pretty gun friendly. Shall issue CCW permits that are only $32 (as I remember) and good for 5 years. If you can legally buy a gun you can get a CCW permit, and as long as you're not a felon you can buy a gun here.
You can't own a class III weapon here though if you're a civilian.
There are a couple very active gun control groups here, but when their proposed laws get put before the people they've been shot down badly.

Don't you think that many people who are into guns enough to post here would tend to live in the more gun friendly states?
I think this is the link you're looking for:

Try http://www.packing.org/ each state is listed, but I don't think there is a "master" list of them all on one page.
"Don't you think that many people who are into guns enough to post here would tend to live in the more gun friendly states? "
No, I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of people on here live where they live for reasons other than guns. Note how many people here are from California.
On the other hand, I happen to live in an extremly gun friendly state, but I never gave it a thought when I moved here 20 years ago.
But that list is similar to what I was looking for. I think it is the same information. That should give you some good info to work with.

I think the info I was looking at was newer than that 1999 data, but according to their critiera, the most gun friendly states in 1999 were Kentucky, Maine, Wyoming, Louisiana, and Montana. They all received the grade of F from HCI.

If you want to see some scary firearms legislation, go to the Brady Campaign site given above by JohnK, and read about the Connecticut laws!
