Lemme try this in the revolver forum:
So I finally made the move from Maryland to Birmingham, and was messing around in Academy Sports when I almost fell over - a S&W 642 for only $349 (in Maryland it would be $500+).
But, sadly, I couldn't buy it if I wanted to as the salesman said that Alabama has a 90 day residency requirement to buy handguns ( I did get my Alabama DL Wednesday).
Now, I had heard that Jefferson County has a 6 month residency requirement for CCW, but I hadn't heard of this 90 day deal, nor can I find it in Alabama gun regs online. Its certainly plausible, and the salesman seemed very sure, but I wonder if anyone can confirm this.
On the good side, I am going out to Pleasant Grove tommorrow to join the FOP Range.
I am LOVING Alabama so far, even if I have to wait 90 days to buy a handgun for half what theu cost in MD!
