as well as the make/model and caliber. Am I required to give this info? What happens if I sell this gun or buy a new one to carry? Am I restricted to carrying ONLY this gun?
Also, what do you guys generally put down for the reason for wanting the permit? I put: "For personal protection while at home, commuting, and traveling."
What say you?
Thanks all!
I would not give them that information about the gun period, that is a back door gun registration which is illegal IMO. Leave it blank, the conceal carry permit in AL is for the person not the gun.
If that sheriff will not issue you a permit, got to your neighboring county. Just tell that sheriff that yours is anti gun.
What you wrote down for wanting the permit is also good, but if you want to add the following "for all lawful purposes"
Edit: The following is the state reg on issuing permits. Ask the sheriff for his regulations that he has for issuing permits and see what is stated in that.
§ 13A-11-75. License to carry pistol in vehicle or concealed on person ––
Issuance; term; form; fee; revocation.
The sheriff of a county, upon the application of any person residing in that county, may
issue a qualified or unlimited license to such person to carry a pistol in a vehicle or
concealed on or about his person within this state for not more than one year from date of
issue, if it appears that the applicant has good reason to fear injury to his person or
property or has any other proper reason for carrying a pistol, and that he is a suitable
person to be so licensed. The license shall be in triplicate, in form to be prescribed by the
Secretary of State, and shall bear the name, address, description, and signature of the
licensee and the reason given for desiring a license. The original thereof shall be
delivered to the licensee, the duplicate shall, within seven days, be sent by registered or
certified mail to the Director of Public Safety, and the triplicate shall be preserved for six
years by the authority issuing the same. The fee for issuing such license shall be one
dollar ($1) which shall be paid into the county treasury unless otherwise provided by
local law. Prior to issuance of a license, the sheriff shall contact available local, state, and
federal criminal history data banks to determine whether possession of a firearm by an
applicant would be a violation of state or federal law. The sheriff may revoke a license
upon proof that the licensee is not a proper person to be licensed.

No. 784, p. 1378; Code 1975, §13-6-155; Act 2006-551, §1.)
Negative. Also sheriffs talk, you don't want to be the one they talk about.
