Always a financial motive with sheriffs opposing ConCarry. This is one of the few times its outright admitted.

Sweet home Alabama. I shall return.

Born there, lived there as a kid, and I certainly love the state as a whole, but man the humidity and heat!! Would love to return, but I can't take the heat anymore.

IMO all except MN and VA, although I could see both of those getting to the Governors desk.

what are your thoughts on the remaining bills now?

press1280 · Feb 17, 2017

The way things are going 2017 will not be as big as 2016. Still too many GOP weenies in office who are trying to derail these bills.

No, and that's usually a bad sign when a bill gets through committee and has now sat for weeks without a peep. I'm wondering if the Senate leader is trying to bury it.

Seems the Sheriffs Association is fighting against the legislation because they'd potentially lose a source of income. Arguing that it's a safety hazard when it's really about money. Go figure.

A recent internal email suggests that the Sheriffs Association isn't necessarily negotiating in good faith. An email from Timmons called on sheriffs to contact their legislators "if you value your permit fund." He specifically warned against a compromise that would clearly benefit Alabama's gun owners. "The National Rifle Association WILL return next time the Legislature meets to bring back Jabo [Waggoner's] 'any county bill' and will push for uniform -- one cost -- statewide permit fee...if any fee at all!"

Alabama permits are already dirt cheap, money must be very tight for these Sheriffs.

If it's about safety why do so many Sheriffs have NO training requirement?

Background check, pay the fee, permit issued.

It's about money, nothing moire.

Hypocrisy again.

Yep. Sine die is around 5/31: https://www.multistate.us/state-and-local/2017-legislative-session-deadlines

looking good then right? Republicans I assume have a majority in the house and are in the governors mansion?

moojersey · Apr 20, 2017

My prediction is the Sheriffs will win this one.

swinokur · Apr 20, 2017

yup, even though the majority don't even require training.

safety?

laughable

Yep. And with similiar numbers in the House they can override a veto if it comes to it.
