Is open carry of a firearm legal in Alabama?

Yes, without need of a permit
No, it is strictly prohibited
Yes, but only in rural areas
Yes, but with a special permit

The correct answer is: Yes, without need of a permit

Open carry of a firearm is legal in Alabama without needing a permit. This option is correct because Alabama is an "open carry" state, meaning that individuals are allowed to carry firearms in a visible manner without needing a permit. While open carry is generally allowed throughout the state, there are some exceptions where it may be prohibited such as in certain government buildings, private property with posted signs, and within 1,000 feet of a demonstration. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all state that a permit is required for open carry, which is not the case in Alabama.
