Finding the scores at the Brady site is tedious and in a rather strange format, so I researched all the states and listed them alphabeticaly according to acronym.

marktwain, thanks for the effort!
Woo hoo! Alabama at 2!
And the state I happily fled a year ago, Illinois, a 28.
I was sure it would be in the California range. I'm sure the fine Illinois legislature is working to correct that.

I would have thought the PRNJ would be at the bottom, but Kalifornia beat them out. Both states have big, big problems.

Just eyeballing the ratings, there seems to be a strong correlation between high Brady scores and high rates of violent crime and vice versa.

PA....25??????
A shall issue state, which allows you to carry while in bars. Heck, you can even drink while in bars!
Printing is fine.
Open Carry is fine.
Paperwork between father and son or vice versa for transferring guns? Not required.
I would argue PA has the best gun laws out there.
Especially our Constitution:
Right to Bear Arms Section 21.
The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Anybody know what makes NC a 19? Thinking of retiring there from my current home in South Florida. FL ranks a comfy "6."

I worked in a grocery store as a kid. Once in a while, someone would get on the PA system and say, “James Brady to the vegetable aisle, please.”

Bummer I’m in CA. One of these days I’ll be out of here until then it just sucks but at least the weather is nice!

Virginia 17 :(
Hopefully we’ll lower that before the next scorecard.
If not, I want to move to Utah.

Hi Marktwain,
Thanks for the list. Do you know when Brady started issuing scores or where to find scores from previous years online? I’d like to compile scores from all years to see trends.
Thanks!
