Bill > HB472

This bill prohibits the possession, sale, or transfer of assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines in Alabama, with some exceptions. It defines "assault weapon" to include certain semi-automatic firearms and handguns, and "large-capacity magazine" as any magazine capable of holding more than seven rounds of ammunition. The bill requires current owners of these items to apply for a certificate of possession by October 1, 2019, and places restrictions on the future sale or transfer of such weapons and magazines. The bill also outlines specific circumstances under which possession of these items is permitted, such as for law enforcement, military use, and during transport to a licensed gun dealer or approved event.
