The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Alabama non-resident purchasing

I have asked questions about this before, but due to recent law changes I am asking again, trying to get some clarification on the law if anyone has any insight.

Situation: KY resident trying to purchase long gun in AL.
Law: Alabama recently repealed their adjacency requirement for state of residence to buy a long gun, i.e. you no longer have to live in AL or a bordering state. (§13A-11-58)

HOWEVER, according to multiple FFLs I have talked to, KY residents still can not buy guns in AL. They do not know why (just talking to the guys running the counter), they just have a list that says KY is part of a handful of states that cannot buy guns in AL. I have not found any legal justification that would support that claim in the wording of the law or otherwise. I'm totally in the dark on this one.
