Takes effect August 1.
Generally provides more lawful access to guns, like giving absolute right to have gun in car at employer workplace without fear of employer taking adverse action, making more difficult for sheriff to deny permits, etc. But once again, or lawmakers screwed up part of the bill.
For example, the law says those with a conceal-carry permit can bring guns to sporting events sponsored by private or public schools and colleges, as well as professional sporting events.
However, it also says that, without express permission, they cannot carry firearms in any building or facility that limits access of unauthorized individuals with guards and other security features such as turnstiles or metal detectors.
That would include many college and professional sporting events. In those cases, the facility must display a sign stating weapons are prohibited.
I think this means that if they have a sign prohibiting weapons in Bryant Denny Stadium, no concealed weapons permit will be valid. It is not completely clear, however, since they specifically authorized the carrying of a concealed weapon in that environment earlier in the law. I am relying upon news stories, rather than reading the Act, but I had previously been told that was the case too.
