Arrested for open carry. Waiting for a ruling from the Court of Criminal Appeals

[eye95]

I see no resolution to this case posted.

If the following is the correct case, and if I am reading it correctly, it seems the case was ultimately resolved in favor of Jason, and the Alabama section was declared unconstitutional.

Pulled out of thin air from a magical hat after 4 years dormance with the empirical “IF” right case, “IF” i can read, coupled with “SEEMS’ thrown in for good measure, quite decisive eye95!

There are some places to make a statement and get into a constitutional/legal debate with someone to prove a point. In a bank with gun on your hip while arguing with someone who can lawfully tell you to beat it, is probably not the best place.

That is how bad law gets changed.


It was an open to the public place. No restriction in such a public area should be allowed.

WOW, remind me to never to enter the state of Alabama.

SECTION 26
Right to bear arms.

That every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state.

Reading your weapons statutes it appears it only applies to concealed carry, yet worded in a way that makes it appear to apply to any mode of carry.

They said they changed that law as well:

In 2014, voters ratified Amendment 888 to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, which amended Article I, §26 to now read:

(a) Every citizen has a fundamental right to bear arms in defense of himself or herself and the state. Any restriction on this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.
(b) No citizen shall be compelled by any international treaty or international law to take an action that prohibits, limits, or otherwise interferes with his or her fundamental right to keep and bear arms in defense of himself or herself and the state, if such treaty or law, or its adoption, violates the United States Constitution.

The amendment is modeled after a Louisiana constitutional amendment.

The big thing out of the Tulley case is that the ALSC or CCA admitted that 13A-11-52 is unenforceable as it lacks a punishment or fine or both, which makes it unconstitutional based on the doctrine of void for vagueness. You can't have a "Thou Shalt Not" law in state law.

However, I disagree with an amendment of Amendment 26 of the state constituion of 1901, on the basis that no power was delegated to the legislature to amend that law, and that sections 1 through 36 are excepted out of the general powers of government, "forever inviolate". Thus it requires a constitutional convention to alter that law.
