From what I can gather, in Alabama, it is illegal for me to have a loaded handgun in my vehicle while I am waiting on my permit so...
I've added a lockbox to the bed ofmyp/u and keep the gun unloaded in acase inside the lockbox until I am off any public road (ie- Walmart parking lot), then I get out, unlock the box, get the guncase, get back in the cab, load & holster the gun and then go shop...Yes it is a PITA.
That said, I OCed at the Honda/Kawasiki motorcycle dealership on Halls Mill rd...No problems.
Then went to Hall's motorsports (bought a Suzuki DRZ400:celebrate) and was in there for over an hour...No problems.
Headed back home but stopped at Advanced Auto Parts in Grand Bay for a gallon of oil...No problems
Then went to Grand Bay Auto (Bumper to Bumper) for another hard to find part and while I was checking out, the guy behind the counter said:
"Wow! Things getting so bad you have to carry a gun? I can't even remember exactly what I said but some ofit went something likethis:
"Well I wish I new where I would need it, then I would only carry it at that time."
Then he told me he has a CC permit but doesn't feel the need to carry, next time I'm there, I'll try to strike a conversation with himand see where it goes.
Anyway all in all, no:what::what:'s
