Can an individual be charged with disorderly conduct for openly carrying a firearm in Alabama?

Yes, if carrying the firearm causes alarm
No, open carry is fully protected
Yes, but only in certain municipalities
No, unless the firearm is brandished

The correct answer is: Yes, if carrying the firearm causes alarm

In Alabama, an individual can be charged with disorderly conduct for openly carrying a firearm if the act of carrying the firearm causes alarm to others. Even though open carry is generally protected in the state, if the presence of the firearm leads to a situation where others feel threatened or alarmed, it could result in a disorderly conduct charge. It's essential for gun owners to be mindful of their surroundings and the reactions of the people around them when openly carrying a firearm to avoid unnecessary legal issues.
