Bill would allow permitless carry in Alabama, critics say law poses safety issues
Apre-filed bill for the 2022 Legislative Session could make Alabama the 22nd state in the nation to adopt permitless carry, coined “constitutional carry” by its proponents.
Currently, the state requires a pistol permit for citizens to carry a pistol on their person or in their vehicle.
Proponents of permitless carry say the permit requirement infringes on Second Amendment rights, while opponents say it will allow criminals to operate more freely.
The bill is sponsored by Rep. Shane Stringer, R-Citronelle, who was fired by Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran in May for sponsoring the permitless carry bill in the previous session.
