Alabama Constitutional Carry Bill Sent to Governor Ivey: March 10 2022

The Alabama legislature has sent the Constitutional Carry bill (permitless carry), HB272, as amended by the Senate, to Governor Ivey at 3:05 p.m. on March 10, 2022.

The bill from the Senate was accepted by the House with a vote of 70 to 29. The Senate concurred 24 to 6.

This correspondent expects Governor Ivey to sign the bill, making Alabama the 22, 23, or 24th state to restore Constitutional carry.

Governor Ivey has a primary coming up on May 24, 2022. With a vote in the house of 70%, and in the Senate of 80%, it would be foolish for Governor Ivey to veto HB 272.

In Alabama, if the governor vetoes a bill, a majority vote is required in each house to override the veto. If the governor does nothing, the bill becomes law after six days, not counting Sundays.

Constitutional Carry on the Move Acros USA

In Ohio, SB 215 has passed the legislature and is headed to the Governor for signature.

It seems likely Governor DeWine will sign the bill.

In Indiana, the legislature has passed HB 1296, a Constitutional Carry bill. It is the latest iteration from a complicated political process to bypass a hostile committee RINO-Republican Chair.  It will soon be sent to Governor Holcomb

. I expect HB 1296 to become law because Indiana has a very weak veto system. A governor’s veto is easily overridden.

In Georgia, the bill has passed the Senate, with a strong assist from Governor Kemp. It has passed the House Committee.

The Pennsylvania constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. It doesn’t seem to stop local tyrants from imposing restrictions.

Looks lime CC is pretty much a done deal here in GA also. Long overdue.

Yes, I understand an effective date of January 1 is standard practice in Alabama bills which become law.
