New AL law to allow concealed guns without state permit effective Jan. 1
Fox News
Alabamians will soon be able to carry concealed guns without a state permit or background check. The legislation was championed by advocates of the Second Amendment.
The proposal had been introduced unsuccessfully for years in Montgomery, before winning approval this year. The legislation was championed by gun rights advocates who call it "constitutional carry," in reference to the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Opponents, including state sheriffs and others in law enforcement, argued the permits help combat crime and enhance public safety.
The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, which lobbied for the Alabama legislation, said in April that 25 states now allow permitless carry.
