ALERT: Do NOT Stop at Rest Areas in This State If You’re Carrying a Gun… You Could Be Arrested (AL)

[Pearls Before Swine]

Alabama? Was I mistaken to believe it was in the Deep South?

[hadaclueonce]

No more travel dollars in that rat hole state from me.

I will just drive around.

[South40]

There are signs stating “No weapons” at every national cemetery I have been to. They have never stopped me or others from carrying weapons.

[US Navy Vet]

I can’t think of ANYTHING in Alabama that I would EVER want to see.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

How ironic being that more people die on our nations highways than they do from guns.

[kosciusko51]

Bureaucrats are bureaucrats, no matter the state.

[kosciusko51]

Your loss. U.S. Space & Rocket Center

[rjsimmon]

The DOT is not a law enforcement agency, neither are they a law making agency. They have neither the authority nor the manpower to enforce such an unconstitutional act.

[Norm Lenhart]

Not a reasonable rule or regulation so they have no authority to do it.

[IamConservative]

Wouldn’t they need a warrant to search your car or person?

[wardaddy]

I doubt this holds

[Buckeye McFrog]

The rocket center is very cool, as is the Huntsville area in general. To me this looks like the work of some liberal sniveling bureaucrat who has managed to insert himself into an obscure rulemaking process. The State Legislature needs to slap him or her down. Hard.

[Sasparilla]

So, what hysterical anti gun emotional crisis led to this?
Florida, the next state down, not only allows, concealed carry, but also stations armed security at all interstate rest areas after dark. Between the two, there’s not much crime at those rest areas.

[thestob]

and what are they going to do, pat you down before being allowed to take a piss ...dumb fools ...

[faithhopecharity]

insane idiots!

[BenLurkin]

Oh swell. Another “gun free” zone.

That should make everyone feel safe.

[PATRIOT1876]

OUCH! What a blow to tourism.

Fewer patriots and other people with common sense will be visiting Alabama!

[JimRed]

Green light for criminals to haunt the rest areas...

[Gamecock]

Holtzclaw said, “I believe that, nationwide, we’ve created these gun-free zones and cowards that want to be a martyr for their cause are attracted to them because they know that they’re going to be more successful in whatever form of terrorism or activism that they are trying to accomplish.” He continued, “So when we label a gun-free zone, we actually create a killing field for those people who obviously aren’t going to follow a law like that.”

Exactly.

Libs create these killing fields and then when something happens they want to come and get our guns.
