An Alabama lawmaker says he is introducing legislation he hopes will strengthen Alabama’s gun laws.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -
A law signed in 2022 make the state’s concealed carry law less stringent. Currently, anyone over 19 can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, background check or training.In response, Rep. Reed Ingram has filed a bill that would instead require someone to be 21 to conceal carry. They would also have to pass a hunter safety course or get a permit from the sheriff’s office.
Ingram says if police encounter someone with a gun, that person would have to have a valid form of identification to prove they can legally have that gun. “This bill will take it to where if you don’t have an ID, the law enforcement have the option to take the gun and hold it until they come in and show their ID,” Ingram said.The bill has not yet been filed, and with five working days left in this legislative session, it’s unlikely to get passed this year.Copyright 2024 WSFA.
