From the AR Pistols section
Alabama..............................GTG, no restrictions, but bbl less than 12" is considered a "pistol" and regulated as such for CC purposes (Ala. Code 13A-11-70(1)). Link I am building an AR pistol now so if any AL LEO can confirm this I'd greatly appreciate it |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ... if any AL LEO can confirm this I'd greatly appreciate it I'm not an LEO, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.  The legal Alabama definitions of rifles and shotguns, and of pistols (applicable to AL laws regulating same), are found in The Code Of Alabama, Sections 13A-11-62 and -70, respectively: Section 13A-11-62 Definitions.For purposes of this division, the following terms shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: (1) FIREARM. Definition is same as provided in Section 13A-8-1(4). (2) RIFLE.

I also found in Section 13A-8-1 (4) that a Firearm is defined as , A weapon from which a shot is discharged by gunpowder.
And in Section 13A-11-63 Possession , sale, ect.. of short-barreled rifle or short barreled shotgun; applicability.(a) A person who possesses, obtains ,receives, sells, or uses a short-barreled rifle or a short-barreled shotgun in violation of federal law is guilty is guilty of a Class C felony. So, I guess I would be good to go on my plan to assemble a 10.5" AR pistol using a Sig brace for my loaded concealed carry truck gun. Thanks for the help. Frank |
