Many cities all over the U.S. (and other countries) have banned pit bulls, or have restrictions on owning pit bulls. You can find a list of cities/states/countries and their pit bull laws here:

Remember, no single website can possibly keep an always updated, all-inclusive list of every case of BSL. Check multiple resources to verify.
Other resources for checking local laws:

- Rott-N-Chatter – BSLÂ
- Google (or any other search engine)
Search for the official website of the city/state online, many municipalities have their laws and ordinances listed directly on their sites.
