Mike I chatted with you back in May of 2009 via email when I was asking for advice when I was planning a litter pickup. Now you understand why I contacted you for advise. This is exactly the kinda thing we are dealing with down here. The quote in your facebook message: " when I called a city official told me that open carry was illegal in Alabama " is all to familiar. That is exactly what I have heard from every LEO I've talked to about it as well.
The OC laws are foggy at best, the LEO's don't know them or interpret them their own way. I went forward with the litter pickup anyways and had a grand total of 3 people, including myself, and my brother. As discouraging as that was I still try and do what I can. I email my representatives with very in depth info and a list of changes that need to be made to our laws. Heck, I even email some of the other representatives that aren't even in my district, especially the one who introduce progun bills.
Having said that, I am a few hours away from Tuscaloosa, but would be willing to show up and help in any way I can. This isn't gonna change by people hiding behind forums and computer screens, we gotta come together and get out there and stand up for our rights live and in person.
Mike I hope you do come, we need all the help we can get!
If you want my contact info so I can help in any way I can, just shoot me an email, I'll get ya my number. -Jason
