Lawmakers advance bill on permitless carry
alabama state house, montgomery
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) – Alabama lawmakers have advanced a Republican-sponsored bill that would do away with the requirement to get a permit to carry a concealed handgun.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-4 for the legislation. The bill now moves to the full Alabama Senate.
House Republicans have named the bill as a priority for the year, but the committee approval came over the objections of law enforcement officials who spoke against it.
