Sales of Firearms-Alabama

The law of Alabama lays down strict guidelines relating to sale of firearms to minors.  As per § 13A-11-57 of the Alabama Code, selling pistol or bowie knife to minor, shall, on conviction, carry a  fine of  not less than $50.00 nor more than $500.00.

§ 13A-11-58 relates to the sale of firearms or ammunition to residents of adjoining states as well as to purchase in adjoining states.  The section states that:

(a) Any resident of Alabama authorized to sell and deliver rifles, shotguns and ammunition may sell and deliver them to a resident of any state adjoining Alabama.  Any purchaser of such firearm or ammunition may take or send it out of the state or have it delivered to his place of residence.

(b) Any resident of Alabama who legally purchases rifles, shotguns and ammunition in any state adjoining Alabama may take delivery of said weapons either in the state where they were purchased or in Alabama.

The city or town council or other governing body in Alaska has the right and power to revoke and cancel any and all licenses issued to any house of public entertainment or house or place where firearms or other deadly weapons are kept for sale.[i] The licenses can be revoked when, in their judgment, the public safety, peace, good order or decency may require it and when the owner thereof or person operating the same shall have been convicted of any violation of the city or town ordinances regulating such business.
§ 13A-11-60 of the Code makes possession or sale of brass or steel teflon-coated handgun ammunition illegal in the State of Alabama.  Therefore the possession or sale of brass or steel teflon-coated handgun ammunition is illegal anywhere within the State of Alabama. The possession or sale of said ammunition or any ammunition of like kind designed to penetrate bullet-proof vests, is unlawful and punishable.  However, the provisions of this section shall not apply to state or local law enforcement officers; nor shall it apply to the possession or sale of teflon-coated lead or brass ammunition designed to expand upon contact.
