Two bills passed by a large majority in the house yesterday:
HB362 prevents employers from prohibiting employees to carry firearms in their vehicles. The amendment exempting railroad workers seems to have been removed.
HB596 removes the prohibition on SBR/SBS.
They must pass the Senate and be signed by the governor next, but this is a large step towards passing.
A new bill has been sent to committee to legalize short barreled shotguns and rifles in Alabama. HB596 removes section 13A-11-63 from the Code of Alabama entirely. If this bill passes, Alabama will finally be a 100% NFA friendly state.
Here are some flyers that can be printed out to promote our association.

There is also a black and white version to print out and leave a stack at the counter of the gun shop or leave at your local range.

Alabama’s State Legislature began its 2008 session last week on Tuesday, February 5. So far, the following NRA-backed bills have been introduced:
- House Bill 339, “Emergency Powers” legislation, sponsored by State Representative Marc Keahey (D-65), will protect our Second Amendment rights by prohibiting any government agency from confiscating or regulating the lawful sale, possession, transfer, transport and carry of firearms during a state of emergency, such as occurred in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
- Senate Bill 18, sponsored by State Senator Henry “Hank” Erwin, Jr. (R-14), authorizes a student at a state-supported college or university to carry a firearm on campus if he or she has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, is in good standing with the institution, and has completed an approved course on “gun skills.”
- Senate Bill 271, also authored Senator Erwin, authorizes professors at state-supported colleges and universities to carry a firearm on the campus of the college or university at which the professor is employed, so long as they have a permit to carry a firearm.
- Senate Bill 27, also introduced by Senator Erwin, prohibits state-supported colleges and universities from adopting policies prohibiting professors from carrying a firearm on campus if they have a permit to carry a firearm.
- Finally, Senate Bill 156, sponsored by State Senator Rusty Glover (R-34), would create a special disabled person’s hunting license available for $1 during the period of total disability.
