Two more states go "constitutional carry'

Alabama and Georgia will allow permit-less concealed carry in 2023. I'd bet it'll have the same effect as going permit-less did here in Arizona, which is not much. Anyone who wanted to carry concealed was already doing so (with or without a permit). Those who had permits kept on renewing them, for reciprocity or for ease of purchase at gun shows.

Unfortunately, an Alabama Concealed Carry Permit won't help you buy a gun; a background check is still required. Apparently some sheriffs issued permits to felons and the feds had to go retrieve the guns. Now BATF has withdrawn permission for the AL permit to substitute for a background check.
