Here is a email I sent to the Alex City PD this morning.
Chief Rafford,
I have recently become aware that it is legal to open carry a side arm in The State of Alabama. What I'd like to know is, are there any limitations inthe city or countythat restricts open carry, other than the obvious locations such as schools, government buildings, etc. Though I wouldn't open carry on aevery-daybasis, for the times that I might, especially during the Summer months, it'd be nice to know what's expected from your department.
Any information and/or advise is welcome.
And Chief Raffords very quick response:
Mr. Burns,
Alabama law does allow for open carryof side arms and City Ordinance's do not prohibit it, however in my opinion obtaining a pistol permit for concealed carry is a better way to go. Carrying in the summer months can be accomplished by not tucking in your shirt and you avoid the attention of openly carrying a side arm. Obviously the choice is yours but obtaining a pistol permit is easy and not expensive. I hope this answers your questions. If not you can give me a call at 329-6743 or on my cell at 397-0344.
