I'm confused and need some advise.
I live in Texas and have a Texas CHL. I'm driving to Alabama on Sunday and want to know whether I can bring my CCW. I'll be going through Louisiana and Mississippi which both have reciprocity with Texas so no problem there. The packing.org Alabama state page says that Alabama will not honor my Texas permit. Fine, I can't carry while I'm in Alabama, I understand that. However, can I BRING my CCW and leave it in the house that I'm renting while I'm there?
The packing.org site says,
"Car/Gun law summary
Date updated: Sunday, August 15, 2004
A person may lawfully transport a firearm , including a handgun, from one state in which they are legal to possess to another state without a permit as required under Alabama law, provided the following conditions are met:
* The firearm is unloaded
* Neither the firearm or the ammunition is readily accessible
* In case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment, the firearm and ammunition shall be in a locked container other than the glove box or console.
Federal Law on the Transportation of Firearms. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 926A"
However, http://alisdb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/CodeOfAlabama/1975/13A-11-73.htm
Section 13A-11-73 says,
"License to carry pistol in vehicle or concealed on person - Required.
No person shall carry a pistol in any vehicle or concealed on or about his person, except on his land, in his own abode or fixed place of business, without a license therefor as hereinafter provided."
So is the answer yes or no?
