Current Alabama Reciprocity law § 13A-11-85. Reciprocity for licenses issued in other states. (a) A person licensed to carry a handgun in any state whose laws recognize and give effect in that state to a license issued under the laws of the State of Alabama shall be authorized to carry a handgun in this state. This section shall apply to a licenseholder from another state only while the licenseholder is not a resident of this state. A licenseholder from another state shall carry the handgun in compliance with the laws of this state. (b) The Attorney General shall periodically publish a list of states which meet the requirements of subsection (a). Act 2001-494, p. 862, §1.) Proposed Alabama Reciprocity law § 13A-11-85. Reciprocity for licenses issued in other states. (a) A person licensed to carry a handgun in any state (b) The Attorney General shall periodically publish a list of states which meet the requirements of subsection (a). This suggestion has been introduced a part of SB129.. Alabama Constitution Article 1 - Section 26 - Right to Bear Arms "That every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state." A reasonable person would read this to mean that "every citizen" has this right affirmed by the Alabama Constitution, not just citizens who are fortunate enough to be residents of Alabama. Law abiding adults do not become irresponsible because they step over a line into Alabama. Having even more responsible people in Alabama, spending their money, would be a good thing. We would be comfortable telling anyone that it is also the right thing to do. It's how we were taught us to act toward others. You were not taught to call someone Sir or M'am only if they're from your state. Everyone deserves the same respect. |
