Alabama: Bill to Create Lifetime Carry Permit to be heard in House Committee

Contact Members of the House Public Safety Committee Today to Support HB 595

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 15, the Alabama House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee will hear House Bill 595, sponsored by Representative Proncey Robertson (R-7).  HB 595 would create a new lifetime carry permit issued by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) to state residents.  

Please use the TAKE ACTION button below to contact the Members of the Committee and respectfully ask them to vote in favor of the lifetime permit bill -- HB 595 -- and to vote on the bill without delay!

 

The process for a lifetime permit under HB 595 is simple and straightforward.  After requesting a background check from their local sheriff, an individual can apply to any ALEA office where driver’s licenses are issued, pay a one-time fee of $150, and after submitting a completed application and favorable background report, have a permit for life.

The lifetime permit law will follow existing statute in all material respects, but will provide additional options not currently available to permit holders.  HB 595 gives individuals the choice of having a lifetime permit endorsement placed on their driver’s license or state identification card, or they can choose to have a separate card issued by ALEA.  The permit cost will be split between the local sheriff’s conducting the background check and ALEA to handle the administration of the new permit process. 

This is an important change to the existing permitting system that will give law-abiding gun owners the option of deciding which route is best suited for their individual self-defense needs.  Don’t let anyone take this important choice from you – contact your Representative today and let him/her know that you want the option of a lifetime permit! 

Time is running out on this year’s legislative session and opponents of this pro-gun legislation will use any delaying tactic they can to kill HB 595.  It is important that you use TAKE ACTION button above to contact your Representative and respectfully ask him or her to support HB 595 and that they vote on the bill as soon as the public hearing concludes.
