HB462 Alabama 2022 Session

Under existing law, a person convicted for certain crimes may not possess, purchase, or transfer firearms. Existing law does not provide a method for an individual to restrict his or her own legal ability to receive, transport, or possess firearms due to a fear that he or she may become a risk to himself or herself or others

This bill would also provide methods by which an individual on the Voluntary Alabama Firearms Do-Not-Sell List may remove his or her own name from the list

This bill would also provide for criminal penalties for violations

Relating to firearms; to create the Voluntary Alabama Firearms Do-Not-Sell List; to allow an individual to voluntarily add himself or herself to the Voluntary Alabama Firearms Do-Not-Sell List under certain conditions; to establish methods of verified registration; to provide civil and criminal penalties for violations; and to establish a campaign to educate the public about its purpose.
