Alabama legislator hopes to end the relentless wear – WBRC

Birmingham, Ala. (WBRC) – After a record year of killings in Birmingham, local leaders do not hold criticism of Alabama’s weapons laws before the legislative session.

Unimpeded wearing was a topic of discussion recently Meeting to prevent crimes.

The governor signed the law three years ago. It allows weapons owners to wear a hidden pistol without state authorization.

As the Ontario Tilman (D) reporter of Jefferson’s County goes back to the State House, he wants to carry out a law on the unobstructed transfer of Alabama.

“Putting policies and supporting policies to reduce weapons,” Tilman said. “To get rid of the Glock switch. To make sure that we are canceling unobstructed transfer, which we should not get rid of in the first place. “

The law, adopted in 2022, was supported by the defenders of weapons rights.

When I was introduced, governor Kay Ivy said he was advocating for a law that obeyed weapons, and this permit confirmed Alabama’s commitment to “protect” the rights of the second amendment.

Tilman is also a criminal protection lawyer and a gun owner. He claims that the change in this law does not violate Alabama’s rights.

“I’m a man for a card -carrying gun, so I understand our rights to the second repair. Everyone has to want to defend themselves, “Tilman said. “When we sit here and talk about a crime, we have to look at it from an overall point of view.”

When a law was introduced, opponents, including the sheriffs, said the permits were helping to fight crime and increase public safety.

The District Attorney of Jefferson now said there is a “huge” number of weapons in the community and this law makes it difficult for the enforcement to do its job.

“Don’t let anyone mislead you,” Danny Car said. “The unobstructed wearing is not our friend. This is police officers. They see a gun in a car, they cannot use it as a probable reason to go further. If that’s all they have, they have to release this person. What if this person is about to harm another person? “
