At a gun show recently, I got to talking to a couple of young guys about open carry in Alabama and they informed me they were LEO's and it is already legal. After a few questions I kind of jokingly asked to see their badges, and they showed them. They said it's totally legal, but, be prepared for major hassles, to the point it's not worth it. Seems any LEO can ask to see your licenses, etc. which is fine, but can deliberately hassle you by calling it in, verifications, confiscation until results, etc. End of story was, if you are a legal good citizen you get your gun back,sooner or later,with no charge/fee and the message made that I/we do not like open carry round here. I've lived here 15 yrs. never seen one open carry. Only 6 more months till I move, but would really be interested in your thoughts. thanks.
