You must have a Permit/License to carry a loaded handgun in any vehicle.

Alabama Code 13A-11-73(b) Except as otherwise prohibited by law. 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.
____________________________

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.
Title 18 U.S.C. section 926A
