Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed on Friday signed an ordinance that will require people carrying a concealed gun or carrying one in concealed in a vehicle to have a drivers license or another valid photo identification.
The Montgomery City Council passed the ordinance earlier this week. .. “It shows not only that this administration is committed but our City Council is committed to doing everything in our power to try to make sure that our city is safer and doing the things that we can to get guns off the street and empower our police officers more and make our city safer for everyone that lives, works and plays within these limits,” the mayor said. Reed was joined by several members of the City Council and Montgomery Interim Police Chief Jim Graboys. The ordinance, only four sentences long, says that if a person carrying a concealed firearm does not have a photo ID, police will confiscate the weapon. They will hold it for up to 30 days. The owner can reclaim it by showing a valid photo ID, providing proof of ownership, and paying a $150 fine. “This gives law enforcement a tool to ensure proper identification is held in situations where an individual may be stopped, and weapons are recognized,” Reed said. .. https://www.al.com/news/2024/09/montgomery-requires-photo-ids-for-carrying-concealed-guns-on-person-or-in-vehicles.html Bros don't be carrying ID with that gat in their waistband. The ordinance is illegal upon arrival. https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Montgomery-Alabama-has-gone-crazy-/5-2746501/ |

How does the presence of a photo ID make things safer? What’s the theory there?

Probably going to cost that city a lot of money...but they don't care since it is paid by the taxpayers.

If there's state level preemption, it's not legal. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't stop you, confiscate your firearm, and force you to jump through a bunch of legal loopholes to get it back. Democrats have always ignored laws they find inconvenient, especially if doing so pushes the boot further into the neck.

Florida Conditional Concealed Carry - Requires you to have a ID on you....
When I moved my son to Tuscaloosa Al - I got pulled over for in improper lane change - it was funny the reaction my son and I got when I handed him my CCW and DL. They were so busy running my son and I thru their system and the SN on the guns too that they did not write the ticket. LOL Red |

Yup, that'll fix the problem for sure, this time!

My state has always required you to have your concealed carry permit on your person if carrying a concealed weapon. If you don't have your permit on you , depending on the circumstances they CAN charge you for carrying a firearm without a license. They seem to use that as a pile on charge for a dirtbag they want to jam up. Infact , when a cop runs your driver's license the dispacher tells them if you are CCP card holder. It looks just like your drivers license with a pic. One time at the bank drive thru I wasn't paying attention and sent my concealed carry license into the bank to make a deposit in the correct account instead of my driver's license. The teller didn't say a word about it and completed the transaction and I noticed it when she sent it back out with the receipt. When I said sorry bout that she just giggled and said no problem. |

I mean, in Florida you are supposed to have ID on you all the time if you are over 16 (I think). Pretty sure jogging is an exemption.
I think they should stop, frisk, and ID check all bicyclists on a roadway, pretty sure all of them are on drugs or have committed some sort of crime. |

Because someone intending to shoot someone would most certainly not want to run afoul of a law requiring them to carry identification?
The logic of this escapes me. But I could see how the city would like to collect all those $150 fines. I wonder if a handwritten receipt saying something like "On (fill in any date you want) I sold my pistol (serial number 1234XYZ) for $20. Unless the law specifies what qualifies as a receipt almost anything else would suffice, but they still collect the $150. |

Sorry, don't get the outrage. People should have a drivers license while driving, concealed weapon or not.

Quoted: @scuba-steve @Bama-Shooter So then how does Philadelphia get away with it? They seem to have laws of their own. View Quote I know Pennsylvania still had state-level preemption last year, but there have been a number of anti-2A/pro-tyranny groups trying to fight it, so I'm not sure where they stand now. My best guess is that it's still on the books, but Philadelphia politicians, in proud Democrat tradition, are just ignoring the state-level laws that apply to them so they can apply more restrictive laws to you. And you absolutely want to break out your wallet and fund whoever is fighting back because it's a nightmare if you lose preemption. You'll end up in a situation where you have no idea what the law is as you travel between towns and cities and counties. We're dealing with that in Virginia now |

I have one PA group I'll donate too, and one on a National level in our fight to restore our freedoms.
I guess Philly is like NYC in that they think they're special and can thumb their noses at the state laws, and you'll go bankrupt before you can make any difference in the corrupted court system. Hopefully Montgomery gets the piss smacked out of them, but for some reason I have my doubts. |

Does the 11th circuit have any rulings against stopping someone for merely carrying a firearm? I ask because several circuits have made such rulings. Me being in the 8th certainly has ruled this way. Simply seeing a firearm is NOT a reason to stop/detain anyone and doing so would be an automatic violation of established case law. When I do travel through Bama I am usually OWB anyway. Shirt over if needed. Especially Birmingham and Montgomery.

So, if I were to carry there, and I dont have my DL or ID, the most you could do to me is, what? A ticket? Because its city law, not state.

Glad they don't have that bullshit here. I never take my ID when I walk my dog and I am always carrying whem I do.
My town has a snakehead fishing tournament where bow fishing was expressly allowed. Years ago cops pull M4s on my son and buddies son for walking along the canal shooting their bows into the water and reeling in dead snakeheads There is no doubt the cops by me wish they had a law like this to fuck people over. Sad because the cops in this town were cool and normal. But then again all the cops in this town also lived in this town. Not the case anymore |

Aaah, now the other thread makes more sense, AL is Constitutional Carry.
Should have lead with that because the other 90% of the country requires ID. |
