I'm heading down to Birmingham this weekend and have a couple questions: 1. Are there any good gun stores I should visit? 2. What are the restrictions on carrying concealed weapons? Can I carry in a bar? What about a restaurant that serves alcohol? |
County Sheriff's will put some other restrictions on individual printed pistol permits, however it is the belief of some that these restrictions are not legal or carry no legal authority. |

See you Saturday Gary. I hope you're planning to bring your stick and shoot with us. I was looking at my carry permit (Shelby Co) and noticed it said words to the effect that it is null and void if the holder is impaired by alcohol. I'm sure it won't be an issue. David |
I am tired of posting the law. Section 13A-11-50 Carrying concealed weapons. Except as otherwise provided in this Code, a person who carries concealed about his person a bowie knife or knife or instrument of like kind or description or a pistol or firearm of any other kind or an air gun shall, on conviction, be fined not less than $50.00 nor more than $500.00, and may also be imprisoned in the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the county for not more than six months. (Code 1852, §15; Code 1867, §3555; Code 1876, §4109; Code 1886, §3775; Code 1896, §4420; Code 1907, §6421; Code 1923, §3485; Code 1940, T. 14, §161; Code 1975, §13-6-120.) Section 13A-11-52 Carrying pistol on premises not his own; who may carry pistol.

Section 13A-11-76 Delivery to minors, habitual drunkards, etc. No person shall deliver a pistol to any person under the age of 18 or to one who he has reasonable cause to believe has been convicted of a crime of violence or is a drug addict, an habitual drunkard or of unsound mind.
