I'm not in Alabama, but found this through Google...

It looks like your Georgia permit would be honored...
It appears to me that the only off limits place in the whole state (beyond what the feds say, of course) is a "Demonstration" as set forth in 13A-11-59 found here: http://www.ago.alabama.gov/issue/Alabama_Weapon_Law.pdf
Open carry appears to be legal without a license, but CC requires Bama license or license in recip state.
Tell Coach Saban that Goober says "hey"!

·The Alabama permit states right on it that you can not open carry like an LEO (unless that changed this year).

I've live in Alabama for 41 years and OC in Alabama is lawful. Check out "alabamaopencarry.com" for more info. We are having a state wide meeting this Saturday, the 5th and will all be OCing.

Actually, it has always been legal.
State v. Reid
K.J. v. State
Looney v. State
Morris v. State
State v. Reid
Isaiah v. State
Jakes v. State

as well as the AG opinions.

·The back of my recent permit says different. I'm not trying to make a big deal or challenge anyones x-amount of decades as a resident. I can only share what my permit states.

No problem. A lot of people are unaware it is legal, that's what Alabama open carry is about. Here is the AG opinion on OC.... http://www.alabamaopencarry.com/docs/ago-1984-205.pdf
Sheriffs try to "extend" the laws to fit their needs but, it can only be done by the Al. legislators. I just want people to know that they do have that right.

·In fact, I didn't like being told it had to be concealed. I think it should be a choice and the laws are vague in AL to begin with. There is (as of the last time I looked) one piece of paper there for work and play as opposed to TN who has Pistol Permit and State Cert for Private Security, but the state doesn't care if you duct tape a pistol to your forehead for carry.

·Here is what I mean by vague. Matters not how long you have been there, what matters is the LEO's thoughts that questions you. Here is a screen shot followed by a link to the site.

This all seems to clearly be something new and not a life's work. I believe in OC... it should be a choice.

·Three and a half hours of research later and I have confirmed that I have no idea what your position is. The only thing I can find is that ridiculous “open carry while on foot” law. Good Lord, please don't tell me that is what you are referring to. That, IMHO, is not a privilege it is a slap in the face. I don't understand what all your examples of court cases has to do with anything. I don't believe in that being right is all-important. I guess if you were t-boned because someone ran a red light, it would all be good to you because you were “right”. This is not my way of thinking at all. I have only been in in the Podunk/Bufu areas of Alabama. If you don't have transportation I'm not sure you'd even need legs. If you and alabamaopencarry.com share the same beliefs, I can't imagine there being anything I could do for you guys. I have not checked them out yet to see what their point and position is. If they are rallying to get OC approved, I'm in. If they assume the on “foot law” as some inalienable right to carry... I'll step back. My reference was as a permit holder, so you caught me by surprise. TheLaw asked what a licensee could do (and I pray he doesn't base any decisions on this thread).

OK....this is my last post as not to hijack this thread. http://www.alabamaopencarry.com/docs/tri-fold.pdf
If you can not determine from this that it is lawful I'm sorry.

I started this thread for a trip I made last October. While we want people to discuss and debate here, one thing I will close a thread immediately for is an argument over open carry versus concealed carry, 9mm versus 45, bad cop/good cop etc.. Those types of threads cause issues on forums and we aren't looking for any issues here.
Keep it as a friendly debate please. Thank you.
