Constitutional Carry is on the move in Alabama. Senate Bill 3 would eliminate the need for a carry permit for law abiding adults. From dothanfirst.com:

Senate bill 3, sponsored by senator Gerald Allen, would repeal the permit requirement for the carrying of firearms.

It would allow any law-abiding adult who can legally possess a firearm to carry a handgun for self-defense in Alabama without having to first obtain a permit to do so.

The NRA-ILA confirms the essence of he bill. It does not eliminate the shall issue permit system that is now in place. Alabamians would still be able to obtain permits for reciprocity with other states. Alabamaians would still be able to obtain a carry permit as an alternative to the NICS instant check stystem. From the nraila.org:

Senate Bill 3, sponsored by Senator Gerald Allen (R-21), would repeal the permit requirement for the carrying of firearms. This important legislation would allow any law-abiding adult who can legally possess a firearm to carry a handgun for self-defense in Alabama without having to first obtain a permit to do so. This legislation would allow law-abiding adults in Alabama to carry in a manner that best suits their needs and improves their ability to defend themselves and their loved ones from danger. .......

It is to be hoped this does go through, as no permit should ever be required for a law abiding person to carry concealed, or open. Thus far it seems there are now thirteen states that have implemented "Constitutional Carry" and others should take note and go the same way, with sadly a few examples such as CA and NJ where the Second Amendment is barely respected at all.
