We are confident of a favorable outcome considering the previous pro-RKBA bent of the legislature and its significant further move in that direction this past November. Here is the final-final version of the changes we are requesting. All that remains is placing it in a form for submission by the sponsors.
Highlights: Repeal -52, an anachronism, superseded by -73, that serves no purpose other than to confuse LEOs (and me, as of about a year ago) into thinking that OC is illegal. Repeal the carry at a demonstration ban that served only as an excuse to harass lawful gatherings of open carriers. Specifically prohibit the use of disorderly conduct laws to arrest a lawfully armed carrier. And, finally, remove the requirement to have a CPL to carry in your car.
Here is a PDF with the specifics of the changes to the code: http://alabamaopencarry.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=998.0;attach=778
