Carrying and pistol permits in Dallas County
Since January 1, 2023 Alabama has permitless carry: anyone 19 or older (18 for active military, veterans and law enforcement) who can legally own a handgun may carry it concealed without a permit. A pistol permit is still worth having if you travel, because many other states honor an Alabama permit but not permitless carry. In Dallas County permits are issued by the Dallas County Sheriff's Office; each county sets its own fees and permit lengths, and many offer lifetime permits. See our Alabama pistol permit guide.
