Generally, Alabama is a ‘shall issue’ state for concealed carry. The local county sheriff’s office is responsible for issuing permits for concealed weapons. Open carry, on the other hand, is generally accepted without a permit, provided the person is at least 18 years old and legally allowed to possess a firearm. However, restrictions can apply, and it’s crucial to know the current laws to avoid legal issues.
