👉 The Alabama Weapon is a state-mandated concealed carry law that requires individuals to complete a 40-hour firearms training course and pass a written test before being permitted to carry a firearm in public. However, unlike other states, it imposes stricter limitations. For example, the law prohibits carrying a firearm in a vehicle unless it's for self-defense or transporting a passenger, and it restricts the types of weapons that can be carried, generally banning handguns but allowing shotguns, rifles, and shotguns with a magazine capacity of 10 or fewer rounds. Additionally, the law mandates that all concealed carry permits must be renewed every two years and includes a background check requirement for all applicants. This comprehensive approach aims to balance public safety with the right to bear arms, reflecting Alabama's unique stance on firearms regulation.
