In just a few days, people in Georgia and Alabama will be able to carry guns without permits. This comes months after Governors in both states passed laws, ditching the requirement.
The fees for gun permits help them buy equipment they need. Lee County’s Sheriff says his office has already seen a decline in revenue for those permits, now that they are no longer required. Even though they’re ok financially, he says it could really hurt smaller counties.
“It does not change the fact that permits will continue to be issued, they will,” said Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones. “And those fees that are generated by the permit go directly to law enforcement purpose only...For instance, here at the sheriff’s office in Lee County, we use that for training and education primarily,” Sheriff Jones adds.
