I'm making it. Doing a life reboot is way more work than I ever imagined.

Pray for those families who lost loved ones in a war we did not know we were in.

Part of the reason why some states don't recognize AL permits is there is no way to verify them after hours.

I think given the abuses, lies, manipulation and downright contempt for the citizens of AL by the sheriffs the authority to issue CCW permits should be taken away from them and given to the state.

Proving once again how stupid some of our legislators are.

A cop already has legal authority to disarm someone if they believe they are engaged in actual criminal activity.

“I think it’s 50-50 odds whether or not this thing gets concurred,” Sorrell said Monday afternoon. “With each passing hour I’m more convinced the House is going to non-concur (with the Senate changes).”

The Senate added to Stringer’s bill a provision to set up a fund to help counties offset a loss in permit fees. Democrats said it was wrong to shift that cost from permit-holders to the General Fund, which supports other government services.

The Senate also added a provision allowing a police officer to temporarily take custody of a gun during an investigation based on reasonable suspicion that a person “is engaged or is about to be engaged in criminal conduct, or the officer otherwise reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the officer, individual, or any other individual.”

While holding the gun, police could search criminal history and weapons databases to determine if the person is prohibited from having a gun. Police could retain the gun if they determined it was used in a crime or if the serial numbers are removed.

Police would return the gun at the scene if they determined that the person was not an immediate threat or had not committed a violation that resulted in an arrest.

Sorrell said he’s opposed to allowing police to temporarily take guns and check them.

Does any of these lawyers study the law? Do any of them know anything about USSC rulings on such things?

Fucking clown shoes. It's embarrassing.

Brain fart

So text of the actual law?

LOL, I gave him this talking point. I like how he used the term "sold"


Stringer said the permit system has been flawed because some sheriffs have sold permits without conducting background checks.


The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action applauded the bill.

“The NRA worked tirelessly with state leaders and legislators to pass the most significant pro-Second Amendment measure in Alabama history,” NRA-ILA Executive Director Jason Ouimet said in a statement. “We thank Gov. Ivey, bill author Rep. Shane Stringer, legislative leaders, and every lawmaker who supported this landmark legislation.”

Half or more of that was not needed.

Proving again, move the permit system to the Department of Conservation.

When I read propaganda like that coming from our sheriffs it makes me cringe.

There is nothing in it that makes the average person less safe. Did the guys who did the drive by shooting in Tuscaloosa that killed the two year old this weekend have permits?

What about all the other shootings in the past two weeks in Bham, did the shooters have permits?

They already blasting each other over TikTok videos.

People could open carry without a permit.
