Talk:Gun laws in Alabama

Navbox article body
The article should be formatted as paragraphs of running prose, rather than as a navbox with collapsible groups. So, I'm going to remove the navbox, and replace it with the previous text version of the article, while leaving the current summary table intact. The previous text version is from this version, from August 2010, before the Gun laws in the United States by state article was split up. Besides not conforming to how an article should be laid out, the navbox is difficult to update. Also, it consists of quotes, instead of original prose written by editors. But it does contain a number of links that could be useful for updating the article, so I'm copying it to the talk page, below. — Mudwater (Talk) 01:49, 3 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Upon further review, the "overview" section of the navbox is better than the old text, so I'm going to replace the old text with the overview. — Mudwater (Talk) 02:02, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

External Information
U.S. Concealed Carry is an extensive free resource about all things concealed carry in the United States. An interactive map regarding gun laws in each state can be found at http://www.USConcealedCarry.com/travel. Would you be amenable to adding this resource as external? --Patm7 (talk) 18:19, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Alabama is still "May Issue" for CCWs?!!
''In Alabama, local sheriffs have the say on if the permits are issued. If you want to carry a handgun concealed on your person or in your vehicle, a permit is required.''

...

The sheriff can turn down an applicant for any reason.

...

''The move is not without opposition, including pushback from the powerful Alabama Sheriffs Association. The opposition to permit-less carry centers around sheriffs losing the ability to deny permits to applicants they feel pose a danger to the community.''
