Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has signed into law a bill which eliminates the requirement of residents in the state to obtain a permit in order to carry a concealed pistol.
The legislation was passed last month by the Alabama House of Representatives and a variation of the bill made its way successfully through the Senate last week.

Andrew Sorrell, according to Alabama's Yellowhammer News, gained over 40 House cosponsors for the measure. "I am deeply thankful to my colleagues in the Legislature for passing this constitutional carry measure, which allows Alabamians to exercise their fundamental rights without first having to pay a gun tax in the form of permit fees," Stringer said, according to the outlet."Those who still wish to purchase a permit for reciprocity with other states or other reasons continue to retain that option under this law.
Echoing her statement released through her office, Ivey celebrated the signing of the bill on Twitter, writing through her campaign's account:"Here in Alabama, we dare defend our rights. And we will ALWAYS defend the right of Alabamians to keep and bear arms. Alabama Free. Alabama Strong."
