Excellent example of a Fudd: Jim Moses. He's been that way for over 20 years I've known him.
"Moses is president of the Alabama State Rifle and Pistol Association, a state lobbying group, and the Blue and Gray Rifle and Pistol Club, a Madison County shooting club. He said Alabama's gun enthusiasts have considered pushing for "shall issue" statutes, because the criminal background checks that typically go along with "shall issue" laws have other benefits.
"If the law said the sheriff shall issue with a background check," Moses said, "that would allow guys that had a pistol permit and a background check to sidestep the thing where they phone in to the FBI when you buy a gun.
"We felt like that would be desirable," he continued, "but it's not worth aggravating the sheriffs about, so we've not pushed it."
Moses and his members know they are living in a gun-friendly state. "We feel like the sheriffs are more or less on our side ...," he said. Dorning agrees that licensed gun owners cause him few problems."
Basically, he has his, screw everyone else. One year licenses that cost $20 ($10 to renew IRC), and in the case of Madison County, take over 6 weeks to get the first time. What a fawking crock.
