It really isn't going to be that big of a change. The original bill proposal would've made the car an extension of the home, but they had to compromise. The new law will read that an unlicensed person can carry a gun in the car but it must be unloaded and out of reach of the driver and passenger (not much change there). The biggest change this law will make is changing AL from a "may issue" state to a "shall issue" state. It will also state that federal gun control laws will not change how AL operates.

ETA: it will also expand the definition of crimes of violence.

That's huge.

"may issue" is just an excuse for some Barney Fife to keep guns out of honest citizens' hands.
