The packing.org community is very active and very keen on keeping the information there up to date. I believe that the information on that site is the most comprehensive and up-to-date you'll find anywhere.
Be careful, of course, with respect to the meaning of their listings. For example, they list New Mexico as shall issue because the law has been passed, but the law is not effective until January 1, 2004. They list Missouri, again because the law has been passed, but the law is on hold until at least the outcome of the case in the Missouri Supreme Court, which is scheduled to be heard January 20th or so, I believe. You can find little inconsistencies on their site -- some maps show Alabama as "shall issue" but it is actually "may issue" (the link you posted has it right). That's because _in practice_, Alabama is shall issue, because all Sheriffs are said, even by gun people, to issue fairly.
