That's the one, thanks!
Awesome. If only there was historical data for this, I'd definitely include it. Right now I'm thinking of making another map with present day concealed carry status (along with an actual site to hold all the visualizations I'm making), and that would include county level data for the states where it makes sense to do so. It'd be a lot like the other maps out there but it'd be zoomable and clickable and I'd make it look like the first map I did, but not animated. Instead of may issue, there'd be restrictive may-issue and permissive may-issue. This is my first gun map, everything else I've done has been for work, but it seems like there's a lot of interest in getting cool gun visualizations out there and this is my specialty so I may as well be the one to do it. And by cool, I mean expanding past Leaflet and getting more into D3.
By the time you are done with all that (whew) it will all be green, hopefully.
Actually, that file was my data source (I credit it in the attribution in the bottom right corner of the map). I went through that gif frame by frame and marked down in an Excel document when each law change occurred for each state. My site wouldn't be possible without that gif. I just thought I could create a much better user experience to get at that data.
Nice..
Just a thought or two.
A bit slower...and maybe drop some milestones like Heller and other cases in the mix as a timeline..
Then. Even crime stats and gun ownership rates..
This could be a very powerful tool..
