CO2 Launchers and Alabama Law
Alabama law does not classify CO2-powered launchers as firearms. Under both federal law and Alabama state statutes, a self defense launcher that fires .68 caliber kinetic or chemical irritant projectiles via compressed CO2 is not subject to the same regulations as conventional firearms. This means Alabama residents can purchase, own, and carry a self defense launcher without any permit, license, or registration.
Alabama residents can order a self defense launcher online and have it shipped directly to their home address — no FFL dealer, no local pickup, no waiting period. The launcher is legal for home defense, personal protection, and everyday carry throughout the state, including in cities like Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and Mobile.
