HB 113 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Firearm sales; acceptance of returned firearms with faulty conditions by dealers required

HB 113 requires licensed firearm dealers in Alabama to accept returns of firearms sold with faulty conditions (such as defects impairing safety or function during normal use) within three days of purchase. Consumers can exchange defective firearms for a firearm of the same make and model, if available, and must provide video proof of the defect if it cannot be safely demonstrated in-store. The bill defines "faulty condition" to exclude damage from user abuse, modification, or accidents after purchase. It takes effect October 1, 2026, and directly affects consumers who buy defective firearms and licensed dealers who must implement this return policy.
