Louisiana violates your right to remain silent and can charge you for if you don't inform.

Maybe you should worry about Louisianas current laws instead of Alabamas FORMER laws.

Eta: you don't have a constitutional right to even drive a car.

Doesn't Louisiana still force you to have a permit to conceal carry in public? Seems like you would be more concerned about that than a law that no longer exists in Alabama.

If you have a conceal carry license then you don’t have to separate etc.

That's how I've always done it.



I've only been pulled over once since I started daily carrying. At that time our CCL was still in play, and he saw it and just asked me if I had any weapons. I said "sure do, you need to see it?" He declined that offer, but I wasn't being a smart arse. I didn't know the protocol. But if I'm pulled over in the future, I'm certain I will offer it up before I am asked.

Brandon Miller says that isn't true.

In 2023 he would have been correct.

Yes and I hate it.

BTW, the Senate is voting on it today. It passed last year but our Honor Chode governor vetoed it and a couple of RINOs didn’t override his veto.

Shouldn’t be a problem this time though.

I've been pulled over a couple of times with my loaded Glock on my person, once in 2019 and again in 2021.

Handed over my AL DL and my CCL, no issues. Both officers ask where my weapon was and I told them.

I was instructed both times to have a nice day and watch my speed. Apparently I have a lead foot.

We do not have a CCL law anymore. That is now dead. You can conceal carry without a license.

Is it dead or just something optional now?

In Oklahoma we passed constitutional carry but I am still an SDA Permit holder, and I recommend everyone who carries should also be. The reciprocity alone makes it worth the minor inconvenience of occasionally renewing your license.

Just know the gun laws VERY WELL of every state you're planning to pass through, and even certain cities within states (some Colorado cities, for example) have laws that are very different than at the state level.

It's optional. You only need it to travel to a state like LOUISIANA.

You can carry without a license. Loaded or not. You just have to inform any police officer that may come into contact with you about your weapon.

Now you can, but up until last January you couldn’t even carry a loaded pistol in your vehicle.

Y’all have come a long way. Hopefully Louisiana will join you shortly.

Yes. As of January 1, 2023, Alabama does not require a permit or license to carry a loaded handgun in any vehicle

Bama was run by Dems till 2010, and even then some of the elected were career politicians. We're still fixing the mistakes.

Some states are going backwards and have elected Dems to statewide offices recently. Know any of those?

Well this is wrong. In Alabama you had to have the handgun unloaded and locked in a container. And it couldn’t be accessible.

The law for Jan 2023 changed it. This is the old info:

quote:

Can You Have a Loaded Gun in Your Car in Alabama?

A person may have a concealed and readily accessible handgun in a vehicle if he or she has an Alabama pistol permit or an out-of-state permit that Alabama honors. Without a permit, handguns must be unloaded and locked in a compartment or container that is in, or affixed securely to, the vehicle and out of reach of the driver and any passenger in the vehicle.

I had a CCW and carried loaded pistols in my vehicles before the law changed

The law changed it to where you don't need the CCW anymore

Why is this hard for y'all to comprehend?

It was like that for the majority of states that had CCW laws

What does this have to do with anything I was posting?

The conversation was about people driving through Alabama. If you didn’t have a reciprocal CCW your handgun was required to be locked in a container and away from occupants. That changed with the law Jan of 2023.

The OP that started this thread made it out like it was illegal under any circumstances to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle

Auggie posted that this info was wrong as you could always carry with CCW as was and is still the case with many states that require

You said he was wrong
