Carrying gun through Mississippi and Alabama

What are the laws on this? I know nothing about the other states laws. I'm going on a couple beach trips this summer and want to be able to carry my .40 in my truck. What are the laws on this if I was to get pulled over or something?

I think Bama is strict on it but not sure the laws.

do you have a CC permit?

Alabama and Mississippi both extend reciprocity to La. concealed permit holders.

Carry concealed or just in the truck?
Don't think it would be a problem just in the truck.

In Alabama, one must have a concealed carry license (Alabama or one from a state with reciprocity) to have a handgun in the vehicle.

It's fine to have in your truck with you (considered an extension of your home). If you don't have a c.c. permit then just make sure it's visible.

Not in Alabama, unless you are on your own land, in your own abode, or fixed place of business.

he is right^^. it has to either be locked in an area not accesible to the driver (trunk) or if in the cab it needs to be locked in a case.

Well, in Alabama, a concealed carry permit is issued by the individual county sheriff. A background check (that is laughably short) and $10-$20 (depending on the county) gets you a permit. No classes and no waiting period. With the permit you can carry on your persons or in a vehicle. So, it is a no-brainer to get the permit..unlike La. where it seems you have to jump through hoops.

Alabama is the one that is strict.
If you don't have a CCP, then do not carry a handgun in your vehicle there.

Alabama law prohibits any person from carrying a pistol in any vehicle or concealed on or about their person without a pistol permit license. Ala. Code § 13A-11-73 (1975). Under Alabama law, a "pistol" is defined as "any firearm with a barrel less than 12 inches in length." Licenses to carry a pistol are issued by local county sheriffs in Alabama. A person must be a resident of that county to apply for and be issued a pistol permit license. Alabama as of August 1, 2001 under Act 2001-494 has provisions for recognizing pistol permits or concealed weapon licenses issued by states who will recognize pistol permits issued by Alabama.
quote:
The State of Alabama does recognize pistol licenses or permits to carry concealed weapons issued by other states who will recognize Alabama pistol licenses. [See the list posted above.] Also, a person may carry or transport a long gun (rifle or shotgun) without a permit. A person may lawfully transport a firearm, including a handgun, from one state in which they are legal to possess to another state without a permit as required under Alabama law, provided the following conditions are met: The firearm is unloaded. Neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle. In case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment, the firearm and ammunition shall be in a locked container other than the glove box or console.

That's the way it should be everywhere. Makes sense why you just can't carry without it.

In MS your car is an extension of your house. HOWEVER, on the Natchez trace and other federal parkways you must have your gun unloaded in a case with bullets stored else where I'm almost positive

I would say it is the inverse. While La. may allow you to keep a firearm in your vehicle without a permit, you still cannot carry it concealed on your persons without a permit. To receive a permit, you must take classes and deal with shite like that. In Alabama, stumble down to the sheriffs office, plop over a $10, and in a day or two, you can have it on your persons or in a vehicle. (It goes without saying that those who are forbidden to carry don't apply to this hypothetical.)
