"RAINSVILLE — The Rainsville City Council on Monday night passed an ordinance making it unlawful for anyone other than a police officer to carry a firearm while attending a council meeting or a meeting of any committee or other board appointed by the council.
City attorney Jayson Carroll said the motivation was seeing citizens in other areas who would open carry a firearm at a meeting.
“I think it’s a good idea and will keep everything in order,” Councilman David Shirey said.
The ordinance piggybacks state code 13A-11-59, which states it is unlawful for any person, other than a police officers, to carry a firearm while participating in or attending any demonstration being held at a public place.

Alabama preemption statute precludes such local hangun bans: http://smartgunlaws.org/local-authority-to-regulate-firearms-in-alabama/
Perhaps its time for some open carry at the next city hall meeting.
