The correct answer is: Yes

In Alabama, you can openly carry a handgun without a permit. The state allows for both open carry and concealed carry of firearms without a permit for anyone who is legally allowed to possess a firearm.

Remember to always follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding the possession and carrying of firearms.
