County's in Alabama need more money to offset permit sales

[Jester896]

They are issued here after a background check at a kiosk, lol. Now free with a 24 pack of bud. I keep waiting for the river of blood to come thru.

background check done every 5 years here

Maybe they should implement a state income tax : )

Here's an idea, Serve all the 10's of thousands of arrest warrants that are stacked up....

Alabama concealed carry permit sales plummet; counties look to replace dollars

Permit sales dropped last year in anticipation of a new law eliminating the requirement for a permit that took effect Jan. 1 of this year.

Being that the fines go directly to the state and the court system, that would still leave the sheriffs with zero dollars!

We had that here in bama till some sheriff gave permits to buddies and screwed the whole thing up. It was really nice, $$ and carry.

I have always wondered about that. Last one I had didn't have the issue date, so it wasn't accepted for that, When I renewed it I made sure it was on there and tried again, only to find out it was no longer accepted for a replacement of the 4473.

Oh we do pay state income tax! But unlike FL, our property taxes will make you jealous.

I've made the suggestion many times, I don't know who to tell that will listen. But it seems like a viable option for sheriff departments to start off offering a free basic safety course, from there, charge for a series of advanced classes, to include access to their training/practice facilities, selling/renting guns, ammo, merchandise, and host competitions. IDK, seems like the sky could be the limit. I, for one, would love it! My work schedule prohibits traveling to participate in advanced training. I'd gift sessions to family and friends. Think of the camaraderie that could be built with the public.
I too will keep my permit up to date.

That would definitely take out some of my family members!
I'd be thrilled...

WAIT! I was JOKING! Are you saying that some states actually have a state income tax?!? I can't imagine...

See, I was born in Miami, so as far as I'm concerned, anything from Orlando north is Yankees anyway : )

I make a motion we kick him off the forum, cancel his Christmas, birthday, and get him fired from work. I won’t standby and be called the Y word! I need a second!

Florida it’s the Department of Agriculture that issues concealed carry permits. I renewed my permit online back in 2020 and it’s good until 2027.
