What is the legal basis for firearm possession and carry in Alabama?

  1. State Constitution

  2. Federal Constitution only

  3. Both State and Federal Constitutions

  4. State statutes only

The correct answer is: Both State and Federal Constitutions

Alabama has a unique legal basis for firearm possession and carry, as both the State Constitution and the Federal Constitution provide for this right. While the Second Amendment of the Federal Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms, the Alabama State Constitution also specifically allows for the possession and carry of firearms for self-defense. Therefore, options A and B are incorrect as they only mention one of the two legal bases. Option D is also incorrect as it only refers to State statutes, which do not provide the same level of protection as constitutional rights.
