We are also rather blessed in Alabama with the Castle Doctrine as a law. Some also know it as the "No Duty to Retreat".

Here is one definition: Generally, the “castle doctrine” provides that someone attacked in his home can use reasonable force, which can include deadly force, to protect his or another's life without any duty to retreat from the attacker. It is defined differently in different states. The name appears to have its origin in the English common law rules protecting a person's home and the phrase “one's home is one's castle. ”

I think you have hit the nail on the head with your understanding of why most States will not honor the concealed Carry permit from Alabama and/or some other States in their boundaries. Right or wrong they have much stricter requirement for a concealed carry permit. Many of the same States also require you have their State approval prior to even being allowed to purchase a gun. Their thinking is most folks from Alabama would not qualify for a concealed carry in their State; therefore why should they honor an Alabama CC permit in their State.

I too would prefer my CC Permit allowed any place I travel, but as another poster mentioned I too am concerned about what it would do to our very liberal Alabama requirments.

Many citizens hate Federal Laws for things which can be legislated by the States. I am not sure I would agree in this situation. On the other hand, there are groups who believe it is a violation of their rights to even have to have a permit by any government activity. I also would not agree with this position. Also remember, I do not believe military installation will allow you to conceal carry on their premise.

Just my 2 cents worth; although I am more than willing to listen to differing views. Just be safe and careful since carrying or handling a weapon is an awsome responsibility.

P.S. - Stay away from Hound's home State (New Jersey) since they are extremely tough to include their prohibited hollow point ammo.
