[align=left]§ 13A-11-73. License to carry pistol in vehicle or concealed on person --Required. No person shall carry a pistol in any vehicle or concealed on or about his person, except on his land, in his own abode or fixed place of business, without a license therefor as hereinafter provided.[/align]
[align=left]§ 13A-11-52. Carrying pistol on premises not his own; who may carry pistol. Except as otherwise provided in this article, no person shall carry a pistol about his person on premises not his own or under his control; but this section shall not apply to any sheriff or his deputy or police officer of an incorporated town or city in the lawful discharge of the duties of his office, or to United States marshal or his deputies, rural free delivery mail carriers in the discharge of their duties as such, bonded constables in the discharge of their duties as such, conductors, railway mail clerks and express messengers in the discharge of their duties.[/align]
[align=left]Between these two statutes, unless you're own your own property or just walk / ride a bike everywhere,is it really legal to OC without a permit in Alabama on a regular basis? Specifically, how can you get to your destination without violating § 13A-11-73? Also, I've read that some court cases said § 13A-11-52 doesn't apply if you've got a permit (or something to that effect), but what about unpermitted OC? Thanks![/align]
