WOW! I knew that firearm ownership was difficult in other states, but I had no idea the "hoops" you guys have to jump through!
Down here (Alabama) you have to be 18 to purchase a long gun, and either 18 or 21(I'm not really sure) for a handgun. Anyone 16 (I think it is) and over can possess any firearm. You may not carry a handgun concealed in an automobile without having a CCP. You may transport a handgun not concealed in your automobile.
If one was to carry a handgun concealed without a CCP while NOT committing a violent crime, it is a misdemeanor that carries a minor fine. If you don't want to pay the fine just request a jury trial and it will be all over because the grand jury would never vote to bill the crime.
You have to be 18 to purchase ammunition.
Unless there are unusual circumstances I think you have to be 25 to get a CCP.
Generally here in Alabama, if you are not a criminal committing a crime, or just being stupid waving a firearm around, you will not run into problems with the law.
