Under Alabama law, which of the following firearms is specifically prohibited from being owned or transferred?

  1. Short-barreled shotguns

  2. Semi-automatic rifles

  3. Antique firearms

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Short-barreled shotguns

Short-barreled shotguns are specifically prohibited from being owned or transferred under Alabama law. This prohibition is outlined in the Code of Alabama 1975, Title 13A, Chapter 11, Section 54, which regulates the possession and transfer of such firearms. Short-barreled shotguns are considered highly regulated firearms due to their concealability and potential for misuse. Antique firearms and semi-automatic rifles are generally legal to own and transfer in Alabama, as long as they comply with federal and state laws.
