Alabama enacted constitutional carry in 2023, meaning law-abiding residents who are legally permitted to possess a firearm may carry it openly or concealed without a state-issued permit.

Buyers must meet all applicable federal eligibility requirements, including a minimum age of 21 for handgun purchases and 18 for long guns from a licensed dealer.
Alabama hunters should consult the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for current regulations on legal firearms, calibers, and equipment for deer, turkey, waterfowl, and other game seasons.
