Press register - Baldwin County Sheriff "Boss Hoss" Mack to enforce ille gun ban!
This needs to be challenged ASAP - unlike other Counties' unofficial local yokel restrictions, this one is codified in ordinance and can be challenged directly in state court.

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- Baldwin County deputies will enforce a ban on handguns in public buildings even though the district attorney said part of the ordinance could be open to court challenge, Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack said Friday, the day the ordinance went into effect.
In a letter to Mack, District Attorney Judy Newcomb stated that the new ordinance that bans weapons, explosives, smoking, alcohol and other items might be unconstitutional when it comes to handguns. Newcomb said the ordinance’s handgun ban could be legally challenged.
Mack said, however, that his office will enforce all of the restrictions.
