[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Constitutional Carry (HB405) has passed the Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee

Posted: 4/27/2021 3:40:19 PM EDT

I have exciting news! PLEASE SHARE! Constitutional Carry (HB405) has passed the Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee in the House for the first time in Alabama history! This is a major win for gun rights in our state. Simply put, my bill says you don’t have to purchase a permit to carry your pistol concealed on your person or in your vehicle. Selling people their Constitutional rights back by charging a permitting fee is a clear and obvious infringement on the 2nd Amendment.
I want to recognize the hard work that Senator Gerald Allen has also done on Constitutional Carry. He has been carrying the torch on this issue in the senate for many years, and has successfully passed it through Senate committee and on the senate floor.
I want this specifically thank Chairman Treadaway for calling this bill up in committee and to all the members of public safety who voted for this bill today. Additionally, without help from my 24 co-sponsors, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Finally, to all 2nd Amendment supporters in Alabama who have been helping us build momentum for this bill, thank you.

Copied and paste.

Hell has frozen over.

As I understand, you can still apply for a permit, to take advantage of the reciprocation, but it will not be required to carry in AL.

Correct?

Didn't see that coming.

I note that it changes things so firearm on an employer's property is limited to "pistol" rather than general "firearm", meaning you can't have a loaded AR in the vehicle, unless it's a pistol AR with barrel under 12". If I read that right.

From what I understand, and have been told on numerous occasions, being on an employer's property affords you the same rights as if you were on your own property.....as long as the firearm remains inside your vehicle. Your vehicle is YOUR personal property. So the same rights you have on your property where your home is, is the same wherever your vehicle is (in the state of Alabama). Therefore, it is yours to do with as you wish within the confines of the law. So if you're legally allowed to carry a firearm, of any kind, inside your vehicle, then you can do so even at your job; as long as it remains inside your vehicle.

This is truly amazing. I know the Sheriff's must be totally desperate at this point. I wonder if trying to bend Meemah's ear to get her to veto it will be their last gasp effort.

Hillman, though, said he can’t see it advancing out of the House before the session ends in the coming two weeks.

And the sheriffs keep crying about the lost funds if this happens. But a county sheriff shouldn't ever rely on funds from CCW permits to help them; and be a part of their budget. It's not a guaranteed thing.....like taxes.

Forget about our rights

Yes but the new law strikes the word "Firearm" from that provision and changes it to "pistol". Look at page 20 line 1.

Looks like it now reads the only way you can have a rifle is if you have a hunting license, it's hunting season, and it's unloaded (because the right to keep and bear arms is about hunting even for republicans?)

ETA: So no having a rifle stowed in the vehicle to go to the range after work if you're not a hunter during hunting season.
