Are local governments in Alabama allowed to enact ordinances to regulate the carrying of firearms?

  1. Yes, without any limitations

  2. Yes, but with limitations set by state law

  3. No, they are preempted by state law

  4. Only in specific designated areas

The correct answer is: No, they are preempted by state law

In Alabama, local governments are preempted by state law when it comes to regulating the carrying of firearms. This means that local governments do not have the authority to enact their own ordinances or regulations concerning the carrying of firearms. The state law regarding firearms takes precedence, and local governments must adhere to these state laws. This helps maintain consistency and uniformity in firearm regulations throughout the state of Alabama.
