Currently, our state constitution does not recognize pistol permit laws. That would change if Mack Butler's bill HB12 passes and the people of Alabama amend our constitutions as the bill proposes.

The Alabama Supreme Court has declared:

We note that "ection 36 erects a firewall between the Declaration of Rights that precedes it and the general powers of government, including the authority to exercise judicial power that follow it." Ex parte Cranman, 792 So.2d 392, 401 (Ala. 2000). Sections 1 through 35 of Article I set out basic and fundamental rights guaranteed to all Alabamians, and § 36 provides that no branch of government has the authority to impair or deny those rights.

Don't mess with the firewall between our rights and our government. Vote "NO" if this bill passes.
