HOW did this idiot get hired to that position???


Really good question. I tried and tried to get info on this nozzle Timmons but came up with very little on his previous background or politics.

What I DID find, however is telling enough:

Robert 'Bobby' Timmons said himself he is working with "Mom's Demand Action" which is an anti-gun organization and about as leftist as you can get.

Here is the article where Timmons is quoted saying this:

Maybe those of you in 'Bama would like to contact Mr. Timmons? Here's a link to their website with his contact info on it:

Not surprising. Most sheriffs feel like they should be the only ones who carry a weapon for protection


Would be a good follow-up to ask him what The Constitution says about LEO carrying a gun outside of the office?

This is false. Maybe true in big cities or lib areas. Most sheriffs I know are better than city and state officers and just want their county quiet.

Alabama's got some surprising gun laws, like not being able to have a loaded weapon in your vehicle if you dont have a valid CCL

Dude has been in the position since 1975??? Or just serving the association and or as an active sheriff that long?

If the guy doesn't retire soon, the the people of AL don't care. That will be the best sign. As he should be getting calls to do so, as he doesn't rep the sentiment if the people and his position he should. Move out to CA with these ideas.

I think you are mistaken. I have 2 classmates that ended up in LE, we're talking White County here, home of Harding University, and "drive to Augusta if you want to buy alcohol."

Both openly state that they are strong 2A supporters, but after repeated questioning, I could not get either of them to give their hypothetical support to an effort to do away with school "gun free" zones, which I call killing fields. In the end, they do not support the 2A.

Timmons is a peculiar sort of stereotype of a Sherriff.

You could say he is hiding the fact that Alabama Sherriff's are able to keep permit funds and do what he wishes with the money, including taking it for himself personally.

The inmate food accounts are the same way -and people have been trying yo do away with that for over a decade now. I dont know how that is going.

So it is NOT for any issue of guns rights it is for stuffing Bobby's pockets with money.

and Alabama suffers on from this legacy of Sherriff abuses.

Article about Timmons supporting giving 'hisself' permit funds.. with a picture of this good old boy

Alabama Sherriffs are a pathetic lot of pilfering thugs

Like I said, same with inmate food funds... Sherriffs in North Alabama have been removed when discovered how much money they were pilfering while feeding inmates frozen corndogs (Tigah bait! Tigah bait! Tigah bait!) and nothing but frozen corn dogs for months at a time. Sherrifs formerly could do whatever they wanted with these funds - a lot pocketed it.

Remind me again - who are the criminals?

Ana Franklin of Morgan County ran against her opponent for this; and when she got in started doing it herself, until prosecuted for failing to file personal taxes..

Unbelieveable! At least this grift has been banned.. An"investment"! An investment in a local used car lot that eventually failed and pursued for other fraud!

Thank goodness this trash and this despicable law have been removed..

ASA would support amending the Constitution to limit the Second Amendment to the possession of firearms only for the defense of a person's home.

"Oh yeah," Timmons said. "I'd be in favor of that. But, I mean, it would never get passed."


This is a position that I can oppose completely and yet respect. Good on him for recognizing what would have to happen to accomplish his end.



HOLY shite FUDD ALERT

It took 32 years to get to the SCOTUS to end a ban on guns in DC.

Mike Blakely was the same way in Limestone County and thankfully was busted for it recently after decades of enriching himself.
