February 7, 2022 Group Watch: Permitless Concealed Carry Bill Passes Senate Committee

On a 6-4 vote, The Alabama Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation to remove the permit requirement to carry a concealed weapon. In its current form, the bill, sponsored by Senator Gerald Allen of Tuscaloosa, does not eliminate current restrictions on carrying guns in schools or in businesses that forbid weapons on their premises. The committee earlier approved another bill by Allen that would nullify federal gun laws in the state on a 6-4 vote. Both vote counts were along party lines.
