My daughter, over 21, will be attending graduate school in Alabama. She is a Tennessee permanent resident with carry permit, yet will be residing in Alabama during semester classes and returning to Tennessee between semesters and summers. Alabama weapons laws states full recognition of other states carry permits providing individuals compliance with Alabama weapons laws. Yet it also states Alabama "Residents" must acquire an Alabama permit through the Sheriffs office of the county of residence. It also states that upon ceasing to be a resident of Alabama, that permit immediately is void. I found no definition of "resident" that really applied to such a situation. Has anyone run into this? It would seem kind of silly to have to have one in both states when there is a reciprocity agreement. I appreciate any thoughts or experience offered.
