It's also a tad inaccurate on a few though. Use with caution.

Yeah, always take any legal advice you get from the internet with a grain of salt. same with medical adivce, financial advice, advice in general.
 
The code for Georgia hasn't been updated. Can't speak for the other states but I wonder how accurate they are.
 
That's fine as far as state laws go. Be aware, however, that individual cities and counties can have their own, more restrictive laws too.
 
Do yourself a favor, and find where to look within your own state/local government sites, to find the CURRENT law. The down side of any of the convenient, 'one-stop-shopping' sites, is that they're often (hint: usually) not up to date. Laws change all the time, especially weapons laws these days. Find out where the state/local prosecutor looks these things up. The convenient 'reference' sites, published by someone other than your state/local government, won't hold any sway in court, either. No defense, if you claim you were 'misled' by a legally irrelevant source.

And regarding 'legal mumbo jumbo' (that some seem to believe isn't that important):

The 'mumbo jumbo' is exactly what the the prosecutors will be using to charge & convict you. Again, beware.

Here's one 'disclaimer' from the above-referenced site:

"3) Research was conducted in September 1996; new laws or
amendments may have been passed since then. I have
included later updates and revisions for many states,
but not all. See notes for each state."

15 years since the 'research' was done. A LOT has changed in that time. Beware. The site is informational, in the sense that it illustrates the common language generally used in defining weapons and offenses, but I personally wouldn't rely on it for finding the complete, current law.

Absolutely agree. These days I only use that site to get the general statute number, then go and find the appropriate "*.gov" website. Best search string in google is "[state] code."
