I have a FL CWP. Will be in Bama a little bit soon. I usually conceal carry one or two fixed blade knives, one single, one double edged. Is there any sort of state wide permission for open or concealed carrying of knives of any configuration w/ or w/o a valid weapons carry permit or is it all a crazy patchwork from town to town?

Also, am I good to bring a suppressor and or an AR "pistol" into AL?

Also, are there there any peculiar rules about carrying in AL, like not having anyting thing to drink whatsoever, an obligation to volunteer or prohibition from carrying into any restaurant at all that serves alcahol such as in SC?

Thx

thanks for that. So is the AL carry permit just a handgun permit?

yes

Supressors are legal, it would be a good idea to have your paperwork in order

No law that speaks to AR pistols except that pistols are defined as firearms with barrels less than 12"

No laws related to alcohol and CCW

No laws with pohibitions about bars or resturaunts

No duty to notify/inform, although most LEO's here will not freak out if you do (a few exceptions who run into scary people like Notso)
