Sheriffs from all over the state are coming together to fight a proposed gun legislation.
The bill would allow people in Alabama the right to carry a loaded gun in their vehicle without a concealed carry permit.
The sheriffs are calling it a “battle of freedom and public safety.”
As the law stands now, it is legal for someone to have a gun in their car without a permit, but there are rules to follow: the gun cannot be loaded, and it must be put in a locked box out of reach of any passengers in the vehicle. |

Quite a number of states allow vehicular carry and none of them has had any problems. Every time someone proposes to loosen the laws regarding concealed carry or possession without a license, the "sky is falling" crowd comes out.
In none of the instances where carry restrictions were eliminated have the opponents been correct. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
