In Alabama, is a permit required to possess a shotgun in your home?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for certain types of shotguns

  4. Yes, if the shotgun is loaded

The correct answer is: No

In Alabama, a permit is not required to possess a shotgun in your home. The possession of a shotgun in your own home, for self-defense or recreational purposes, does not necessitate obtaining a permit in the state of Alabama. It is important for residents to be aware of the specific gun laws in their state to ensure they are in compliance with all regulations. Option A is incorrect because owning a shotgun in your home in Alabama does not require a permit. Option C is incorrect as it implies that certain types of shotguns may require a permit, which is not true in this context. Option D is also incorrect since the need for a permit is not dependent on whether the shotgun is loaded or not.
