Can Alabama residents legally purchase firearms in another state?

Yes, if the purchase complies with federal law
No, purchases must be made within Alabama
Yes, but only handguns
Yes, but they must be shipped to an Alabama licensed dealer

The correct answer is: Yes, if the purchase complies with federal law

Alabama residents can legally purchase firearms in another state as long as the purchase complies with federal law. This is because federal law allows individuals to purchase firearms from licensed dealers in any state, as long as the sale complies with the regulations established by the Gun Control Act of 1968. Residents must still follow all applicable state and local laws regarding firearm transactions and transportation when making a purchase outside of Alabama. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the ability of Alabama residents to purchase firearms in another state while following federal guidelines.
