The not so concealed carriers

The first rule on the back of the card reads "This pistol permit does not permit you to carry a gun openly".

And that is exactly true. That pistol permit does not permit you to carry a gun openly. The fact that there is no Alabama state statute prohibiting open carry AND the preemption statute posted above are what permit you to carry a gun openly! The paper pistol permit has nothing to do with it!

although it is theoretically "legal" you would most likely be charged with brandishing and/or disturbing the peace.

What the heck is theoretically "legal"? Either there is a statute prohibiting an act or there isn't. In the British justice system, which America has adopted, illegal acts are prohibited by statute. Any act not prohibited by statute is legal. The WRITTEN opinion from the Attorney General states nothing about open carry being theoretically "legal". The written opinion states that open carry is not illegal, a double negative. That which is not illegal is legal.

So, if openly carrying a firearm is brandishing and/or disturbing the peace then every cop in the state of Alabama is guilty.

Disorderly conduct is 13A-11-7. The "brandishing" law is actually called menacing and is 13A-6-23. There is no exception in either of those laws made for LEOs! So, if you are carrying your gun in exactly the same fashion as a cop, then the cop is just as guilty as you are!

AMEN!

I would suggest that a reading of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence would be in order here:

Utah: A great place to live

I live in Utah were concealed carry and open carry are acceptable. So I can move pretty seamlessly between open or concealed carry and its not big deal. So if someone accidently saw me arrying they might just think I was OCing. I love Utah!
 
When I worked for Loomis I carried to and from work.

Why all the fuss? Any person that carries their weapon the way they want will suffer any consequence's that may come their way for doing so. None of us will suffer any if so and so gets busted for printing
 
Loomis? as in the fishing gear company?
