Is a permit required to purchase a handgun in Alabama?

Yes, from the local sheriff
Yes, from the Alabama Bureau of Investigation
No
Yes, but only for non-residents

The correct answer is: No

In Alabama, a permit is not required to purchase a handgun. Alabama is considered a "shall issue" state when it comes to firearm permits, meaning that individuals who meet the legal requirements cannot be denied a permit. In this state, residents who wish to carry a concealed handgun for self-defense can obtain a permit, but there is no permit required specifically to purchase a handgun.
