Alabama Hand Gun Crimes Lawyer

Alabama handgun law is strict about who can carry a handgun and how that weapon may be carried. Federal law is even stricter. Despite a Constitutional right to carry a firearm, the law restricts certain individuals from possessing such weapons. Those who have restricted rights include people who have been indicted or convicted of a felony. Many people are familiar with the ex-con with a gun charge, but very few people are aware that it is against federal law to possess a gun after you have been indicted—even though you have not been convicted.

The state of Alabama felon firearms laws restrict felons from ever owning or possessing a firearm. Even if your sentence was suspended, you’ve served your time or you have been a citizen in good standing for many years, if you are caught in possession of a firearm you face up to 10 years in prison or possibly more depending on your criminal history.

A pistol is defined as any firearm with a barrel under 12 inches in length. In order to carry a pistol concealed in Alabama, you must obtain a permit from your county sheriff’s office or hold a license from a state with a reciprocal license/permit agreement with Alabama (see http://www.ago.state.al.us/Page-Gun-Reprocity-Law).
