I didn't live in Alabama the first time until 2008. After moving for a job, I returned in 2015. Then again after moving for 2 out of state jobs, returned the end of 2020. That whole time citizens were trying to get Constitutional Carry (Concealed Carry Without a Permit) in Alabama. Well, thanks in part to our State Representative Tracey Estes, it finally passed both Houses and was signed by the Governor late last week. I was in favor of this bill passing and probably drove Mr. Estes crazy about it. With the direction of the federal government, terrorists and criminals crossing the southern border, and unvetted refugees coming to our country, I believe it was the right thing to do. Alabama is the 22nd State to do this. Statistics also show that violent crimes are lower in States or Counties that have this "constitutional" right. I believe it only applies to your own state and others that have the same provision. For Alabama, those close States are Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Come on Florida and Georgia! :-)
