Open carry draws fire | Senator says bill about Second Amendment – Sand Mountain Reporter

A proposed state law that would repeal restrictions and make permits to carry concealed firearms optional has drawn opposition from some Alabama sheriffs.

Senate Bill 24 is sponsored by state Sen. Gerald Allen, R-Tuscaloosa, who said he believes in the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms for the security of a free state.
