Strangely, New Mexico law prohibits concealed carry licensees from carrying more than one firearm at any one time. Of course, this wouldn't apply to members of law enforcement.

Are there other states with similar prohibitions in place? Alabama has been mentioned as possibly having the same limitations, but, so far, I've been unable to confirm it one way or another. However, the "Heart of Dixie" state seems well represented on this forum, so please chime in with the correct information.
 
That's bizarre. If you're going to murder someone and make false statements, I think carrrying more than your allotment of guns already is well within your criminal capabilities and range. It's like making a parking ticket a felony since you might illegally park in your victim's reserved spot to bait him and tag him.

Never would have entered my mind to wonder how many I could conceal.
 
It's retarded. I sometimes conceal a gun in the glove box of my vehicle, a gun on my person, and a gun in my ruck or briefcase or bag, sometimes all at the same time. That's not even counting the pocket automatic I carry when I carry my AK concealed. Geez. What a gyp.

Well I don't think Alabama is one of these. I have in the past carried multiple guns and I never had a problems with any local LEO's. We seem to one of the more reasonable states when it comes to gun laws.

EDIT: Just went and looked for this info at the AL Attorney Generals site and saw no sign of it.
 
NH

BUG as far as law enforcement in NH is on a dept. by dept. basis.
BUG for civilian???....no law on the books here that I know of except a pistol/revolver lic. for concealment is required. Open carry is legal. Must issue state.
 
In this country we need no reason to make stupid firearms laws. They just happen. 99% of them are entirely worthless and do not prevent any kind of harm....

You can lead a politician to logic, but you can't make him think.

There is one AG opinion (81-00044) that states under Alabama Code 13A-11-75 that a person may only carry one pistol at a time. I have no idea how he reads this into the code except maybe because the word pistol is not plural. This opinion does not seem to be based on any case law as none is referenced.

While not yet tested in a court most of the subject mater in this opinion seems to be no longer valid because of Alabama code 11-80-11.

in this case there is a valid and logical reason for allowing some one to carry only one gun. Does not mean you have to agree with it or that it happends all the time.

Not really. The only people carrying more than one gun that you have to worry about are the criminals, who most likely don't have a CCP either. So what difference is another law going to make?

This is, EXACTLY, why 99% of the firearms laws are worthless and ridiculous. The only people that follow them are law abiding citizens....
 
people ( and I'm inculding LEOs in that ) having a drop piece has been a prob in the past.

As I said in the rest of my post, you don't have to agree.
 
I don't know where the "no throw-downs" comes from - cite please? My understanding is, the state police requested this in the original CCW NM statute - so a traffic stop would be safer for the officer. Logical - absolutely not! In NM you can have "whatever" in the way of legal guns in your car, as it is considered the same as your home - but only one concealed on your person. I send emails to the Dept of Public Safety, asking for answers to similar questions - no answers, but always looking.

The lawyer that taught the law portion of my CCW class in OK many years ago said carry of more than one handgun at a time was illegal but I have not been able to find it in the law. Must be one of those things that only passing the bar exam allows you to see...

Not an issue by me (I think) because I never have more than one on my person but if it comes to what is in my vehicle, then I might have a problem.

This post reeks of awesomeness.

The reasons why laws are passed are not usually readily available for citation. But you might be able to eventually find something if you are willing to go back through committe transcripts when the law was being passed. But I ain't doing that for ya!
 
In Michigan, we have "Concealed Pistol Licenses." Some LEOs, whose English skills are limited, believe that, since the word pistol appears to be singular, the license is good for a single firearm. What they do not understand is that in this case the word "pistol" serves as an adjective modifying the noun "license." In English, adjectives are not marked for number.
 
I have attended many firearms classes in Alabama, including one being a legal class. No mention of any such requirement. Nearly every student and instructors carry at times a bug. It would have been mentioned if it was an issue. I stopped using the bug as it was too much hassle. Same reason I don't use a 4 pt harness, crash helmet, roll bars, fire resistant clothing, etc in my vehicles.
 
Not that it should ever be an issue, but I just realized that my Maine "Permit to Carry Concealed Firearms" is in the plural. :) The title also helps justify the (not prohibited) carry of non-handguns concealed, such as subguns, shotguns, folding-stock rifles, SBRs, etc.

Or one of those things a gunshop owner assures you is the truth, or something that some instructor somewhere made up or came up with on his own...
 
AZ doesn't care what you carry, as long as it's legally possessed, i.e., carry a MAC10 with suppressor, 1911, Seecamp, and .22lr pengun, and as long as all of them are legally possessed, good to go.
BTW, that was a setup for an oldfrined of mine, since passed on.
