Moving to BAMA

[jchantelau]

Ok, so today I just accepted a job offer in the Huntsville area. Currently I am waiting on my South Carolina CWP to get to me, I think I have another 60 days before I will get it. In order to carry concealed in GA and AL I was planning to get a nonres Florida permit. I already have a valid Alabama address but I'm still carrying my SC drivers license and I do not want to transfer it over to AL, at least not right now. If I get just an Alabama Photo ID Card for 23 bucks and I have my valid Alabama address I should be good to go to apply for a permit with the sherrifs office correct? Anything else I need?

Let me answer my own question....lol

From the Madison County sherrif's office you need to be a resident for at least 6 months and then it will take 6 to 8 weeks to receive.

Or... you could live a little west out the '72 in Limestone county and get your permit in 10 minutes, no minimum residency, like I did.

Here in AL, you are at the mercy of the Sheriff of the county in which you reside. The Sheriff can make up their own CCW rules. For example, there are no laws on the books restricting open carry in the State of Alabama. However, if you open carry in St. Clair County, you WILL be arrested and your CCW permit will be revoked. Per the commie Sheriff of St. Clair County, Sheriff Terry Surles. The good news is, the AL permit reciprocates to GA, MS, NC, TN, FL, etc... South Carolina does not recognize Alabama's permit. Alabama, GA, and MS do not recognize South Carolina's permit... tit for tat.

Yeah the best route is a FL nonres permit, pretty much covers the entire southeast for me.
