Alabama Senate to Debate Omnibus Gun Bill SB 286 20 May

Well I'm engaged to be married to a lawyer but she don't know :).

I'll find out somehow.

Does anybody know where the text of the new law is?
 
OK, so it doesn't change the "no guns while protesting" language:

http://www.legislature.state.al.us/CodeofAlabama/1975/13A-11-59.htm

This was done in 1975 and 1979 in stages, apparently. 1975 at least in AL would have been towards the end of the civil rights movement when it was still a hot issue. It was also shortly after the death in 1973 of the infamous Birmingham AL police chief Bull Conner, probably the worst civil rights abuser with a badge the 20th Century ever saw...and he only left office in 1972 for health reasons when the abuses he committed and encouraged should have got him booted out long before.

So...there's pretty good reason to suspect this law was designed to facilitate police abuse.
 
A week from now the new law will be in effect. A lot of us are working to try and get public meetings with law enforcement for the new understandings and everything. A lot can happen in a week. Representative Coleman-Evans is already attacking the Stand Your Ground bill with H212.
 
Typing the text straight off SB286 that is the latest edition I printed off. Starts on page 15 line 12

13A-11-85
(a) A person licensed to carry a handgun in any state shall be authorized to carry a handgun in this state. This section shall apply to a license holder from another state only while the license holder is not a resident of this state. A license holder from another state shall carry the handgun in compliance with the laws of this state.
