I've been travelling to South Carolina about twice a year for some time, taking kids to college. It's been encouraging to see the recent reciprocity agreements with Georgia and South Carolina, adding to those we already had with Louisiana and Mississippi. But Alabama remains as a barrier to carrying to the east coast.

I found out that Alabama honors New Hampshire permits, even if they're to non residents. A New Hampshire permit costs $20 for four years. All I had to do was fill out the one page application I downloaded from their web site, and enclose a photo copy of my Texas CHL, and personal check for $20.

The permit just came. It took less than two weeks.
