OPEN CARRY OF A LOADED PISTOL SO AS LONG AS YOU ARE ON FOOT IS LEGAL IN ALABAMA, AND MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, AND OTHER COUNTY SUBDIVIONS CANNOT ENFORCE ANY PISTOL LAWS ANY STRICTER THAN ALABAMA STATE LAW REGULATING PISTOLS!
HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT BE A PROHIBITED PERSON. PROHIBITED PERSONS ARE (IN ACCORDANCE WITH 13A-11-72 AND 18 U.S.C. 922):
PERSONS UNDER 18, PERSONS WHO ARE DRUNKARDS, PERSONS WHO ARE MENTALLY ILL, PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTIED OF A FELONY CRIME OF VIOLENCE, PERSONS WHO ARE ADDICTED TO ANY ILLEGAL DRUGS, PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED FROM THE MILITARY, PERSONS WHO ARE FELONS, PERSONS WHO HAVE RENOUNCED THEIR CITIZENSHIP OR ARE NOT THEMSELVES CITIZENS, AND PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SO AS LONG AS YOU ARE NOT A PROHIBITED PERSON, THEN YOU CAN CARRY A UNLICENSED UNCONCEALED PISTOL ANYWHERE IN ALABAMA EXCEPT:
PRIVATE PROPERTY WHERE THE OWNER SPECIFICALLY RESTRICTS OR PROHIBITS FIREARMS, AND TO OR WHILE AT, IN, ON, OR WITHIN A 1000 FEET OF ANY PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION AFTER HAVING BEEN TOLD BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER (AS CODIFIED UNDER 13A-11-59), AND SCHOOLS K-12 WITH INTENT TO USE THE FIREARM (PISTOL PERMITS ARE A DEFENSE SO IS NOT HAVING INTENT)
DO NOT SHOOT YOUR PISTOL OR USE YOUR PISTOL TO FIGHT IN A PUBLIC PLACE OUTSIDE OF SELF DEFENSE (13A-11-56, 13A-11-61, AND 13A-11-61.1).
SELF DEEFENSE LAWS ARE 13A-3-20 THROUGH 13A-3-27, BUT YOU MAY NOT USE YOUR PISTOL TO RESIST ARREST PURSUANT 13A-3-28.
IF YOU CARRY A PISTOL ON YOUR PERSON CONCEALED OR YOU CARRY A PISTOL ANYWHERE IN YOUR MOTOR VEHICLE THEN YOU WILL NEED A PISTOL PERMIT FROM THE SHERIFFOF THE COUNTY IN WHICH YOU LIVE(13A-11-73).PISTOL PERMITS ISSUED BY ANY SHERIFF ARE GOOD THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STATE, BUT SO ARE HIS RESTRICTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE PISTOL PERMIT(13A-11-74 AND 13A-11-75).
HOWEVER, THE RESTRICITONS, IF ANY, DO NOT APPLY FOR OPEN CARRY; THEY ONLY APPLY TO CONCEALED CARRY. SO IF A RESTRICTION SAYS YOU MAY NOT CARRY A CONCEALED PISTOL JUST OPEN CARRY YOUR PISTOL AND AVOID PROSECUTION.
ALABAMA STATE LAW 13A-11-52 IS BAD LAW AND HAS BEEN SUPERCEDED, BY THE ALABAMA STATE LEGISLATURE, PER 13A-11-73. THERE IS A LOTOF CASELAW ANDATTORNEY GENERALOPINIONS ON THIS MATTER AND IT IS READILY CONFIRMED BY A GOOD ATTORNEY WHO KNOWS ALABAMA FIREARMS RIGHTS AND LAWS. ALSO, OPEN CARRY OF ANY FIREARM IS NOT DISORDERLY CONDUCT PER 13A-11-7, BUT DO NOT RESIST ARREST FOR EITHER, BUT RATHER, TAKE THEM TO COURT.
ALABAMA STATE LAWS11-80-11 AND 11-45-1.1 PREEMPT FIREARMS MATTERS EXCLUSIVELY TO THE STATE OF ALABAMA.THEREFORE MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, COUNTIES, AND OTHER STATE DEPARTMENTS HAVE NO SAY SO TO CIRCUMVENT STATE FIREARM LAWS. FOR INSTANCE IF YOU LIVE IN A CITY THAT HAS A LOCAL ORDINANCE THAT SAYS---ex. NO GUNS IN PARKS---THEN PREEMPTION WOULD APPLY AND YOU CAN CARRY YOUR GUN INTO THE PARK NOTWITHSTANDING THE LOCAL ORDINANCE.MOST POLICE KNOW THIS, BUT THEY MAY ARREST YOU ANYWAY, BE PATIENT YOU WILL WIN IN COURT.
HERE AGIAN, IF YOU ARE LEGALLY ELIGIBLE YOU COULD CARRY YOUR UNLICENSED UNCONCEALED PISTOL INTO A COURTHOUSE! IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO, BUT BE ADVISED WHENSOME SILVER-BLUE HAIRED LADY DOES NOT LIKE IT AND REPORTS YOU-THEN YOU WILL GET ALL KINDS OF ATTENTION FROM THE POLICE FOR DOING SO ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN THE COURTHOUSE, DESPITE THE FACT THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL INALABAMA----THERE ARE SIMPLY NO LAWS AGAINST IT.
BE POLITE, RESPECTFUL, AND COURTEOUS TO OFFICERS WHEN THEY APPRAOCH YOU THOUGH; HOWEVER, EVEN IF YOU ARE ARRESTED, IFYOU FOLLOW MY ADVICE ABOVE YOU SHOULD PREVAIL IN COURT.
