Summary
[AI GENERATED] The 1876 Alabama Code Section 914 pertains to the carrying of concealed weapons. According to this provision, any person who carries a pistol or other firearm in a concealed manner is guilty of a misdemeanor. The code stipulates that individuals may carry firearms openly, but concealing them is prohibited unless specifically authorized by law.
