With the regular session of the Alabama Legislature under way, there is no room for junk bills that threaten to tie up valuable time with debates and emotional overload.
One such bill that could distract lawmakers from spending more time on addressing Medicaid, prisons, a lottery and education is a proposal from Sen. Gerald Allen, R-Tuscaloosa, that will waive the need to obtain a license to carry a concealed weapon. Law enforcement leaders across the state have deep concerns about the bill from financial and safety viewpoints. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
