WKSR:
Change In Alabama Gun Laws Could Be On The Way
Posted on February 27, 2010

The Alabama State Senate has passed legislation that would make it easier for people to keep guns in their vehicles. This comes just two weeks after the fatal shootings at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Democratic Sen. Roger Bedford of Russellville got the Senate to vote 26-2 for his bill Thursday, which would ban policies that prohibit licensed guns from being locked away in private vehicles in company parking lots.

The Nation Rifle Association supports the bill, and the Business Council of Alabama opposes it.

The bill now goes to the House for consideration.
