SB27 Alabama 2018 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, a person, including a person with a valid pistol permit, is prohibited from possessing a firearm in certain designated places, including law enforcement stations, jails, mental health facilities, courthouses, and athletic facilities. A person, including a person with a valid pistol permit, is prohibited from possessing a firearm in a building or facility to which access is limited by security measures. These prohibitions do not apply to a law enforcement officer in the lawful execution of his or her duties.
This bill would also provide that the prohibitions would not apply to a qualified retired law enforcement officer as defined in the federal Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act of 2004. Under the federal definition, a qualified retired law enforcement officer among other requirements has to be honorably retired with 10 or more years of service and meet the qualification for active law enforcement officers to carry firearms.
To amend Section 13A-11-61.2 of the Code of Alabama 1975, prohibiting the possession of firearms in certain places; to specify that a qualified retired law enforcement officer would be exempt from the prohibition in that section.
