This video discusses a local ordinance in Montgomery, Alabama, requiring photo ID for concealed carry, which contradicts the state's 2023 constitutional carry law. The ordinance, supported by Mayor Steven Reed, aims to aid law enforcement in combating crime and confiscating illegal firearms. However, it faces strong opposition from state Republican leaders, including Attorney General Steve Marshall, who argue it violates state preemption laws that grant the state legislature sole authority over firearm regulation. Similar local challenges to state-level permitless carry laws are noted in Louisiana and Georgia.
