Freaking out about 'bama laws!

[CR Williams]

The Code of Alabama, Archangel, leaves knife laws up to municipalities and cities and counties, whereas State law over-rides all of those where firearms are concerned. To echo others, Alabama is technically a May-Issue state, but in practice it is Shall-Issue. My sheriff sends me a postcard every year to remind me to renew my permit. Also, the restrictions on SBRs and SBSs have been lifted, so with the appropriate Federal approval, you can run those if you wish.

You should find it easier to work with here than it looks from Indiana where guns are concerned, but it will be more difficult with knives. Either a belt carry or a blade 3" or under should be okay in most every place in the state, though.
