Alabama Senate Bill 24 - All guns - all the time! Let the Mayhem begin!!!

It’s all fun and games until the adults suddenly wake up and realize that their “friends” have just endangered their lives.

Alabama Senator Gerald Allen has introduced Alabama Senate Bill 24 (SB24) that would repeal the current Alabama statute that requires a permit to have a concealed handgun on your person or in a vehicle. Further, it will allow everyone who was previously denied a lawful permit to now be able to conceal a handgun … anywhere.

If this seems crazy to you, you are not alone. It has also woken up Madison County (population 334,811) Sheriff Blake Dorning. He has issued a public letter asking for citizens to contact their representatives and tell them to put a stop to this madness. As he points out —

Alabama law currently prohibits weapons at organized protests. A repeal of the current law by the passing of SB24 will allow handguns to be present at both peaceful and non-peaceful protests. This is especially troublesome and dangerous for protests that espouse hatred. Although protests are protected by the First Amendment, these gatherings will now be attended by persons possessing a handgun hidden from view of law enforcement. SB24 will allow these persons with a past history of violent behavior to do so.

Seems Mr. Dorning, who is a Republican and public supporter of “gun rights”, has reached that “oops” point in the movie where he realizes that the monster is turning on him.
