Very Concealed

It could become a lot more difficult to find out who is carrying a gun in your county.

This week the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee green-lighted a bill that would prohibit the disclosure of information contained in gun permits.

While the purpose of the bill is to protect personal information that is often collected when a person applies for a permit to carry a gun, it could cover up which one of your elected officials (or neighbors for that matter) is packing heat.

No objections from the Alabama Press Association though since the bill was amended to allow for the release of statistical information on gun ownership.
