Did Packing.Org close down?

I tried to look at
http://www.packing.org this morning and got back the following: "The domain "
www.packing.org" is invalid" and "Domain
http://www.packing.org misspelled or does not exist."
I don't know if this means the website was hacked or closed down. I am used to the server being too busy and not being able to log on, but this is the first time I have ever received a "it doesn't exist" comment back when trying to access the site.

It had been on its way down for a while. I suggest
http://www.handgunlaw.us.

Brandon-
The site your provided is a neat one! I love the build-your-own CCW map. Do you find most of their information valid? I have not had time to really look around yet, but I will tonight. Thank you!

It seems to be at least more updated than packing.org has been for the past couple of years. I'd still double-check before using any online info as fact for carrying my handgun!

Jason, looks like we are all cleared up until Nevada.

The domain name is registered to Mark Solomon through 4-Dec-2012, but the site itself is unresponsive. He has indicated that he will be quite busy with his college courses for the immediate future, so this could be the cause the sort of behavior we're seeing, or it could be one of many other possibilities (hackers, over-consumption of bandwidth, a server that needs booted/rebooted, etc.).
