Map of Albama showing highlights of gun carry law

Alabama is one of the states in the US that allows citizens to carry firearms and guns, and to use them in self-defense, or for the defense of the state. The state is an ‘open carry’ state. This means that adult citizens can openly carry a firearm without the need to get a permit from the sheriff or other authorities. Here are details about Alabama Gun carry law:

Not all adults are allowed to carry guns. Drug offenders, as one example, are not allowed to carry firearms.

There are certain restrictions to the open carry law as well; a gun cannot be openly carried in a vehicle. If a person wishes to carry a concealed handgun, a permit needs to be obtained from the local Sheriff’s office. This makes Alabama a ‘shall issue’ state. Recently, in April 2017, the Alabama Senate voted for the approval of a legislation that would (if passed as a law) allow citizens to carry concealed handguns without the need of a permit. If passed, this law will add Alabama to the list of 11 other US states which allow people to carry concealed firearms without a permit.
