Alabama Concealed Carry Law

Alabama Concealed Carry Law


Alabama gun laws state that anyone over the age of 18 can possess a firearm without a permit as long as they are not in the proximity of a demonstration or the barrel of the shot gun or rifle is not sawed off or short. Alabama does NOT recognized the Virginia Non Resident Carry Permit/License as a legal way to concealed carry in their state. However, getting this permit may assist you in getting your Alabama permit from the sheriff’s office.


Also, by getting the State of Virginia’s Non Resident Carry Permit/License, you can INCREASE the number of states you CAN carry in.


To apply for a concealed carry permit in Alabama a resident must apply for the permit at the Sheriff’s office of the county where they reside.  The applicant must present good reason to fear injury to his or her person or property or must demonstrate some other proper reason for requiring a concealed weapon permit.  The Sheriff will then conduct an investigation as to whether the applicant obtaining the permit would be a violation of state or federal laws prior to issuing the permit.  This method is subjective and does not guarantee that you application will be approved.

Does This Course Qualify Me To Obtain A Virginia Non Resident Carry Permit/License?


Yes. You will NOT be applying for your permit in the state you reside.  This is for you to obtain a Virginia Non Resident Carry Permit/License which is accepted in many states as a valid concealed carry permit, but NOT in Alabama.  This is good for reciprocity to other states only for Alabama residents and non-residents and may assist in helping you get your Alabama permit from the sheriff’s office.


How Long Is The Virginia Non Resident Carry Permit/License Good For?


Virginia Non Resident Carry Permit/License are valid for 5 years.  We suggest you apply at least 90 days before the expiration of your permit to be sure you have plenty of time to submit it to the Virginia State Police to be renewed to allow enough time for you to get your new permit before the old one expires.
