Bottom line..., it is ILLEGAL forTuscaloosa County, Alabama, or any City therein, to violate either Alabama State Law 11-45-1.1 OR 11-80-11.
There is nothing under those Laws that authorize an exception.
One may Open Carry any Firearm or Weapon in Alabama as long as He is not prohibited from doing so under Alabama State Law 13A-11-72, concerning Pistols, or 18 U.S.C. 922(d) concerning any other Firearm.
Hand-held Weapons are not regulated by The United States Federal Government, but are regulated, to some degree, by Alabama. Alabama regulates them under, generally, 13A-11-50..., Carrying a Concealed Weapon. Case and point, if it is not Concealed, then,NO Law is broken.
Tuscaloosa is not above Alabama State Law, they just think that they are.
However, we here on Open Carry know better!
P.S.: There is no such thing as Criminal Tresspassing on Public Property, with a close range exception to being on that Property when it is clearly Closed. However, it is within my belief, andas a strict opinion, that this applies only to Buildings, but notopen-areas..., suchas Parks.
