Bama handgun laws go south here:

quote:
a person legally permitted to possess a pistol but who does not possess a valid concealed weapon permit, may possess an unloaded pistol in his or her motor vehicle if the pistol is 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 hate that law too, but small safes are extremely cheap. Or, you can get a CCW permit for $20, much less than the $140 in Texas and I don't have to listen to Jim Bob teach me gun safety for an entire day.

MS just approved open carry, but they stopped short of formally allowing concealed carry in schools. Instead, they just took language out of the enhanced carry permit that excluded guns in schools (the regular permit explicitly prohibits carrying on school campuses) without commenting how this might conflict with gun-free zones.

It's going to get interesting as that exclusion begins to get challenged.
