Hello,

I recently moved to Huntsville from Las Vegas for work and haven't had a chance yet to get a local drivers license, nor will I have the time to devote to the DMV until the middle of next month. Does anyone know if you can purchase a long gun in Alabama with an out of state drivers license?

Yes, as long as it complies with the laws of both states...

What AlabamaPaul said - Yes, for long guns only and the transactions is between you and a licensed dealer/FFL only, to comply with the federal requirement.

Edit my error to avoid confusion - see Shermanator post below.

AL only limit their own resident's long gun purchase, with FFLs located in the bordering states only.

Could you please post the relevant law (AL Code) that states this?

Edit to Add:
Never mind I found the Alabama Code that contradicts your statement:
§ 13A-11-58
Sale of firearms or ammunition to residents of other states; purchase in other states.
(a) Any resident of Alabama authorized to sell and deliver rifles, shotguns, and ammunition may sell and deliver them to a resident of any state where the sale of the firearms and ammunition is legal. Any purchaser of the firearm or ammunition may take or send it out of the state or have it delivered to his or her place of residence.
(b) Any resident of Alabama who legally purchases rifles, shotguns, and ammunition in any state where the purchase is legal may take delivery of the weapons either in the state where they were purchased or in Alabama.

Thanks for the update on that Shermator.   Edit to avoid OP confusion.  Shermanator posted the correct info on State Law.
