If your carry permit is pulled for OC can you do this?

Hey guys I'm from Pensacola FL and have Concealed carried in Fairhope, Atmore and Mobile for years. I just recently learned that OC is legal in Alabama. I might try it some time in the future. While going over some old threads here it seems if your local sheriff doesn't want you to open carry he can pull your permit, so car carry is not possible for you. I was thinking if they pulled your AL permit, what would stop you from getting a Florida non-resident permit for car carry? They couldn't pull that one and our reciprocity site says AL recognizes them. It looks a little unsettled but might be a possibility.

"The Attorney General's Office of the State of ALABAMA has indicated that Alabama will honor BOTH resident and non-resident Florida licenses. However, the Alabama Attorney General notes that there is some uncertainty as to the limits of Alabama's reciprocity law as it pertains to non-resident licenses. Pending clarification by the Alabama Legislature or a decision by an Alabama court, he urges non-resident Florida license holders to exercise caution. Refer to the Alabama AG's Web page for the latest information."

Just throwing this out there!

Alabama residents must have an Alabama permit to carry in Alabama. Non-resident permits are recognized for non-residents. For example, a Tennessean with a Florida non-resident permit can carry in Alabama.

Oh well, just a thought. I just hate seeing you guys subject to the whims of a local sheriff.

Thanks for the tip, but yeah I asked about getting a FL non-resident permit a while back to avoid the occasional Tyrannical Sheriff.
