\"Committee<\/a>

The Senate Tourism and Marketing Committee voted 6-5 against SB 4, Sen. Allen’s Constitutional carry legislation.\u00a0 (Photo: NRA-ILA<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Alabama\u2019s Constitutional carry bill was defeated by a state Senate committee Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Senate Tourism and Marketing Committee in a 6-5 vote opted not to advance the bill, known as Senate Bill 4, to the Senate floor for the chamber\u2019s full consideration.<\/p>\n

SB 4\u2019s sponsor, Sen. Gerald Allen (R-Tuscaloosa) told The Associated Press<\/a> that he was \u201ctotally surprised\u201d by the development, as he had requested that committee review the bill.<\/p>\n

The Senate last year actually passed a similar Constitutional carry bill but it was shot down by the House. But even with consecutive defeats in 2019 and 2018, Sen. Allen is undaunted in his mission to ensure law-abiding citizens are free to exercise their 2A rights the way the founders intended.<\/p>\n

“The Second Amendment is too important for us to turn our backs on it and that’s exactly what took place in committee,” Allen said. “We’re not folding the tents up. We’re not going to go away.”<\/p>\n

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America praised the committee for axing the legislation, which they believe threatens public safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that our elected officials chose to listen to their constituents who urged them to reject this dangerous bill,\u201d said Dana Ellis, a volunteer with the Alabama chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, in a press release obtained by GunsAmerica.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s vote was a major step toward gun sense in Alabama, and we applaud the members of the Senate who voted to protect the safety of our communities,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In previous hearings on the SB 4, critics resorted to incoherent scare tactics to rally opposition. One lawmaker, in particular, suggested that those who support Constitutional Carry have \u201cmental problems,\u201d as GunsAmerica previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always gotten an \u2018F\u2019 from the National Rifle Association and that\u2019s a proud \u2018F\u2019 that I receive\u2026 I just don\u2019t understand the mentality of what you guys or \u2013 or what you guys continue to push to do,\u201d said Alabama state Sen. Vivian Davis Figures (D-Mobile).<\/p>\n

\u201cParticularly, with all the gun violence that is happening, to allow a person to be able to get a gun who has mental problems \u2013 to me that says the person who\u2019s pushing that has some mental problems,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey don\u2019t understand why people with mental issues shouldn\u2019t have a weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be clear, Constitutional carry legislation does not make it lawful for prohibited persons, including those adjudicated \u201cmentally defective,\u201d to carry concealed firearms. Suggesting so is grossly misleading.<\/p>\n

SB 4 would simply treat concealed carry like open carry, the latter of which is something any law-abiding Alabamian can currently do without having to pay a fee or obtain a permit.<\/p>\n

Seventeen<\/a> states have passed Constitutional Carry laws and, thus far, not one has become the Wild Wild West as critics claim. Not one.<\/p>\n
