Alabama's Firearms and Weapons Law
|
Alabama's Firearms and Weapons law was updated in 2013.
Per Alabama Code Section 13A-11-85, Alabama will
recognize any valid out of state carry conceal permit.
|
In addition, the amended law allows the Attorney General
to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states
which recognize Alabama licenses. The states indicated
above provides updated information on which states have
or do not have a reciprocal agreement with Alabama.
Generally, for another state to reach an agreement with
Alabama, both states' licensing laws must be
substantially similar. Permit holders are reminded that
while carrying a valid concealed handgun in another
state, they are bound by that state's law concerning
concealed handguns. A permit or license holder from
another state shall carry their handgun in compliance
with the laws of Alabama while they are in this state.
|
Alabama issues concealed handgun licenses only to
residents of Alabama, through the sheriff of their
county of residence. Currently, Alabama does not
issue carry conceal permits to out of state residents.
