I'm surprised pets are banned as well... they're welcome here in Florida.
Someone needs to feed the gators.
Glad the Gubner brought the hammer down.

herrwalther, Rest Areas to everyone didn't fall under 13A-11-61.2.
Alabama rest areas do not fall under the "prohibited places" as outlined by 13A-11-61.2.
.....journalist and smuggler Mike Vanderboegh on his Sipsey Street Irregulars blog.
“f you ignore the telephone blitz you are currently experiencing, it will be my honor and my pleasure to lead ‘I Will Not Comply’ armed civil disobedience actions numbering (at least) in the hundreds of participants at every Alabama Welcome Center in the state, as well as in front of your headquarters,” Vanderboegh told Cooper after outlining some of the actions he’s led defying edicts in other states. “So, I hope you save us the trouble and reverse this dangerous and deadly policy.”
Alabama DOT To Ban All Guns At Rest Stops; Citing Possible “Threats” Of Gunowners
In a surprising move from a rather conservative progun state, Alabama Department Of Transportation has just made it into law that firearms are strictly prohibited at all ALDOT rest stops. This grave error poses great risks to travelers as they will be subjected to fines, arrests, and now possible targets in yet another gun free zone.
This move by ALDOT completely ignores the concealed and open carry laws of the state. Signs will be posted soon that have the words “no weapons beyond this point”.
Probably. How many of them have heard that that has been reversed?Criminals will thrilled to hear that rest areas have been made gun free zones
I haven't heard anything about it and I seriously doubt it. Yellowhammer.com, Alabama's source for news was all over the controversy and it's ultimate end (the governor ordering the signs removed) and yet there is absolutely nothing reported on their site about a reversal. A reversal would be BIG local news yet there is nothing anywhere about it so.....How many of them have heard that that has been reversed?
Does this mean one could enter the grounds of the rest area with a weapon but not actually enter a building on the grounds?ALDOT also wrote 450-3-1-.08(3) with the partial note “No person other than a duly authorized law enforcement officer shall enter any Alabama Department of Transportation building with a firearm … ” - See more at: http://gunsnfreedom.com/alabama-dot...hreats-of-gunowners/5504#sthash.fC4WtpRr.dpuf

herrwalter, I suggest dropping al.com as it has very liberal leanings. I recommend yellowhammer.com for Alabama in state news. Compare the two and I'm sure you will agree.I usually visit the website al.com for Alabama state news

Ditto! I only live about 15 miles from I-59 Ashville exit and was about to go have a look myself but you saved me the trip.au_prospector, glad to know you didn't see any signs.
Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.
On July 29, Strange released public statements about complaints he had received concerning unlawful prohibitions of firearms.
Strange said complaints he received and a subsequent inquiry from his office prompted the Department of Transportation to announce last week the reversal of its prohibition of firearms at public highway rest areas in violation of state law. In addition, the city of Moulton removed signs prohibiting firearms at Moulton Recreation Center and at H.A. Alexander Park after being advised by the attorney general that the prohibition violated state law.
Until you cross paths with the wrong LEOWhy?
I don't, and don't plan to. My FL cwp is honored, I don't drive at 100 in a 20 school zone or ask the cop to hold my beer when stopped ( remember Jeff Foxworthy?)
Obey the law, yes.....but stop being paranoid if you are a normal law-abiding citizen
