The Montgomery City Council voted to require a valid photo ID to carry a concealed weapon on one’s person or in a vehicle.
) - In a move that could conflict with state law, the Montgomery City Council voted to require a valid photo ID to carry a concealed weapon on one’s person or in a vehicle.
“It gives us a tool in the toolbox,” said Councilor Glen Pruitt, who sponsored the ordinance. “When you pull a carload of individuals over at 1 o’clock in the morning, you see a weapon on the car, right now we cannot say anything, but now we can ask them, ‘Hey, who’s weapon? How’s got valid identification for the weapon?’”“Look, we’re going to do it. And if something comes up, then we have attorneys and we’ll go figure it out in court and let the court tell us,” Pruitt said.
When enforced, citizens would still have a chance to get their guns back within 30 days if confiscated. “And if they don’t have it, we will confiscate the weapon, keep it at MPD for a month. They can come get it for a $150 fine, and they need to bring proof of purchase, and if they don’t have it, we will destroy the weapon after 30 days,” Pruitt said.Woman injured in Alex City shooting, suspect in custody
