Alabama: Falling Behind in Second Amendment Rights

Alabama: Falling Behind in Second Amendment Rights

Alabama lawmakers have not passed a single piece of pro-gun legislation in six years. Other states are enthusiastically passing a variety of bills to protect and advance Second Amendment rights for the benefit of law-abiding citizens. Just this year, legislatures in Montana, Tennessee, Iowa, and Utah have passed constitutional/permitless carry bills. Recently, Georgia passed a bill to recognize carry permits from all states, and to also ensure that Second Amendment rights remain protected during a state of emergency.

While other states move pro-gun bills, Alabama lets them sit or plays games with them. Alabama has an opportunity this year to break this six-year hiatus by passing a modest bill to create the option of a statewide lifetime carry permit, but lawmakers remain determined to cower to the sheriffs and protect their revenue stream, rather than serve the people. Even during a pandemic with historic economic uncertainty, some members of both the House and Senate are seeking to raise the cost of the lifetime carry permit over the $200 in the original versions of the bills. They continue to ask the NRA to agree to $300, $350, and even $500!

Understand - NRA OPPOSES any fee over the previously established $200!
