iBearArms was a state-law reference app from Schematix Inc. The archived September 19, 2009 listing describes information intended for people researching concealed-carry requirements in the United States, organized by state.
This page reconstructs that historical software listing. It does not reproduce the app’s legal rules or advise whether a person may possess or carry a firearm in a particular place.
Organizing a reference around a jurisdiction
The original description mentioned topics such as permit information, restricted areas, government contacts and frequently asked questions. A state selector was the starting point. Those categories explain how the app organized information, but they do not establish the accuracy of any rule presented in an old version.
That distinction matters for any legal-reference product. The application is an interface to information; it is not the authority that creates or interprets the law. A clear screen and an extensive contents list cannot replace a traceable source.
Record the date beside the answer
When researching a rule, keep its jurisdiction, source and effective date together. A quotation separated from those details becomes difficult to evaluate later. The publication date of an app review is also different from the effective date of the legal material displayed inside the app.
A useful research note should make that difference visible. Record where a statement came from and what situation it addresses before comparing it with another statement. Two passages can appear contradictory because they concern different places, dates or circumstances.
Treat old contact details as historical
The archived app description also referred to office maps and telephone information. Those details may have been useful in the original product, but a historical listing cannot establish that a present office is located at the same address or handles the same responsibility.
For an actual legal question, consult current official material for the relevant jurisdiction and qualified legal advice where needed. This article’s purpose is to identify the app behind an old link, not to convert an unverified 2009 database into current guidance.
The developer name, the iBearArms title and the state-based reference structure are supported by the surviving page. Its current availability and maintenance status remain unverified, so no active download or up-to-date legal coverage is promised here.
