I'm new to this forum, and am researching my rights in Alabama to ensure I don't get myself in a jam. My wife and I are moving from Georgia to Alabama (Madison county) in November and are intent on acquiring and carrying pistols for personal protection.
It is clear that one can legally open carry w/o a license, risking the occasional MWAG call by a citizen to LE with a potential disturbing the peace arrest and permit revocation/gun loss (depending on LE organization in the area and their practices).
It also appears that one cannot carry while in their car w/o a license as that would essentially be concealed carry because the gun wouldn't be visible from outside the car.
What isn't clear to me is if I can unload/secure my weapon in the trunc and transport my weapon from point A to point B. If not, I don't see how someone could legally bring their weapon to a practice range. Even as I'm writing this, I can see how dumb this question may look to you guys, but I have to ask it to make sure I'm not missing something.:?
Thanks,
Don
