So, I may be traveling through Birmingham in the near future--about to take a vacation and road trip.
Could you all tell me how friendly/unfriendly Alabama in general and Birmingham in particular is toward those who OC in particular but carry in general?
Are LEOs professional--meaning will they approach you aggressively even when you are minding your own business? Will they knowingly and willfully violate your rights or just looking for reasons to cause you grief? Do they (a)know the laws and (b) abide by them instead of trying to make things up as they go along?
While in summer I would rather not cover up--weapon a bit large so as to make it highly uncomfortable to cover--I will print regardless, and I don't like wearing baggy clothes to begin with--personal taste on my part. Winter is easy to cover with a jacket--spring and summer are totally different animals.
I'm the type of person who minds his own business--I guess what I am asking is--what kind of issues can one expect when coming to Birmingham?
