Where may we not carry? I know we cannot at K-12 schools or buses. Courthouses and government buldings are also off limits. Anyplace else? what about places that serve alcohol? slasher |
| The Sheriff of each county can place their own restrictions on the permit they issue. Check with your county's Sheriff department for the best answer. Here in Mobile, you're not allowed to carry into an establishment that derives the majority of their income from alcohol. Like a bar. Carrying into a restaurant that also happens to serve alcohol is fine as long as you're not drinking. |
I like how sheirff's make up their own rules outside of state law. |

Can't carry in State Parks. Not sure about National Forest. Can't carry in any places that your County Sherrif does not allow. Every Sherrif seems to have different rules in the state, so you might want to check with they're office. If I'm wrong about anything please correct me! |
but really the only complications with respect to the whole alcohol thing are the restrictions placed on YOUR permit by YOUR sheriff, the locals cannot in any way dictate or legislate where firearms are carried by people who have permits with no such restrictions....we have a state premption law that says local municipalities and counties cannot restrict carrying firearms, only the legislature can |
Yep. And I have never heard of case being brought to court over sheriffs rules. Could be wrong but I've never heard of one. |
