As I've mentioned when this topic has come up before, I'm all for a gun rights org in Alabama. I'll try to make one of the IRC meetings when it doesn't conflict with my work/sleep schedule (which is really screwy).

If you guys want to get all this stuff fixed, come on over to Alabama Open Carry and help us. We have already made some changes and working on more at every level of government.

Don't worry about 13A-11-52. It starts with "Except as otherwise provided in this article" which means it must take all of the laws in Article 3 into consideration first. Article 3 consists of laws 13A-11-50 thru 13A-11-85. It is fixed by 13A-11-55 stating that the only illegal carry of a pistol on premises not your own is concealed carry. Meaning without a license.

Here's the law:§ 13A-11-55. Indictment for carrying weapons unlawfully; proof.
In an indictment for carrying weapons unlawfully, it is sufficient to charge that the defendant carried concealed about his person a pistol, or other description of firearms, on premises not his own, or a bowie knife, or other knife or instrument of the like kind or description, or other forbidden weapon, describing it, as the case may be; and the excuse, if any, must be proved by the defendant on the trial, to the satisfaction of the jury; and if the evidence offered to excuse the charge raises a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt, the jury must acquit him.

We are making progress in getting things changed and we invite you to join us. We have had several run-ins with LE and have made our case each time. If you have any questions, come over to the site and get them answered.
