MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Republicans in the Alabama House of Representatives said Wednesday that legislation abolishing the permit requirement to carry a concealed handgun will be among their top priorities in the upcoming legislation session.
Three bills pre-filed in the Alabama House and Senate would legalize permitless or "Constitutional Carry" in the state. The enactment of the bills would also foster an environment more hostile to federal gun control.
