Mapleton, UT --(Ammoland.com)- Families in the United States can now use a cell phone app to stay out of areas that may have been targeted by criminals planning a mass shooting. GunFreeZone LLC. has released a cell phone app called GunFreeZone that warns people when they enter any store, theater, government building, or other public area where law abiding citizens have been disarmed but criminals may not have been disarmed.

This free cell phone app can be downloaded at the company website www.GunFreeZoneApp.com or directly from iTunes or the Google Play store.

Once downloaded, the app uses the GPS on the phone to find the nearest 20 public locations, and displays them in both map and list form. Information on which stores are firearm friendly and which are gun free zones is easily communicated by a simple color code – stores that allow law abiding citizens to carry firearms are marked green while gun free zones are marked red. If a store is not marked yet, the user can mark the location as gun safe or gun free themselves and immediately share that information with everyone else in the country.

John Peden, founder of GunFreeZone noted that, “Between 1982 and 2012, there were over 60 mass shootings in the United States. Only one happened in an area that was not a gun free zone. I don’t shop in gun free zones and I encourage others to do the same because it’s not safe.” Peden further adds, “If we as a society seek to keep people safe, especially our children, gun control is not the way to go about it.”

“Information about the real-life impact of disarming law abiding citizens is vital – not biased or bought-and-paid-for studies in which the outcome is already known before the project even starts, but factual, non-partisan data is the best tool there is” says Karl Hale, co-founder of GunFreeZone. He stated further “We’re not talking about some imaginary benefit to society that might materialize decades down the road –when you mark a store on our app today, you may literally save somebody’s life today.”

“Information about the real-life impact of disarming law abiding citizens is vital. Criminals want soft targets; they want to attack people that are defenseless. Credible research bears this out, while some new studies funded by anti-gun groups defy logic and the preponderance of evidence,” says Karl Hale, co-founder of GunFreeZone. He stated further “We’re not talking about some imaginary benefit to society that might materialize decades down the road –when you mark a store on our app today, you may literally save somebody’s life today.”

The GunFreeZone app is the largest database of gun free zones and firearm friendly stores in the world with over 300,000 locations marked by over 34,000 users. The app launched in final release on March 14th, 2013.
