Please hit up your congress people about this bill. Lots of states do not honor an AL issued permit.
Sent to my congressman today:
I write to you today not only ask you to support the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill but to become a co-sponsor. As a law enforcement officer I do not believe a citizens right to self-defense should end at a state border. Many states that do not honor an Alabama issued concealed weapon permit have high crime rates. My loved ones and fellow citizens of Alabama should be able to travel freely and have their state issued weapon permit honored in other states just like a drivers license. We also should not put a burden on law enforcement to arrest law abiding citizens simply because they traveled to a state that does not honor an Alabama concealed weapon permit. Thank you for your time.
