Title

Firearms, pistol permits, valid military id has same effect for purposes authorizing of carrying concealed

Summary

The bill lets a valid military ID substitute for a pistol permit when carrying a concealed pistol in Alabama.

What This Bill Does

It states that for purposes of carrying a concealed pistol, a valid military identification card has the same effect as a pistol permit. This means military members and others with a valid military ID could carry a concealed pistol using their ID instead of obtaining a separate pistol permit, under existing law. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Individuals with a valid military identification card (e.g., military personnel) would be able to carry concealed pistols using their ID as a substitute for a pistol permit.
• Residents without a valid military ID would see no change in requirements; carrying a concealed pistol would still require a pistol permit under current law.

Key Provisions

• For purposes of carrying a concealed pistol, a valid military identification card has the same effect as a pistol permit issued under Section 13A-11-75.
• The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor (or its otherwise becoming law).
