Randy Hillman, head of the Alabama Association of District Attorney's sent an email to the cops trying to get the law stopped:

Law Enforcement Friends,

Unfortunately, the short barrel gun legislation received a favorable report in the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, January 20th. It is set for FINAL passage on the House Special Order Calendar for tomorrow (Tues, January 26th). The effect of this bill would be to make lawful the carrying and possession of short barreled shotguns and rifles. This bill could have major implications to the criminal element we deal with on a daily basis. These weapons have no legitimate sporting function and will only serve to endanger the lives of law enforcement. Please join with me and contact your House members to convey our concerns with this bill.

Thank you,

Randy Hillman
Director
Alabama District Attorneys Association


H 2 Repeal Crime Owning/Sell. Short-barrel Shotgun Rep. Oden

Synopsis
Under existing law, a person how possesses, obtains, receives, sells, or uses a short-barreled rifle or a shotgun, except for peace officers, is guilty of a Class C felony.

This bill would repeal this law. AACOP is OPPOSED to repealing this law!!!! We have attached a sheet with your State representatives names on the bottom PLEASE call their office's ASAP and let them know how dangerous these weapons would be for your communities!!

AACOP
