Alabama: Legislators say concealed weapons bill will return next session

The Alabama Legislative session ended May 15 without the House and Senate bills com­ing up for a vote. Time just ran out: amendments were tacked onto the Senate ver­sion late last week and there weren't enough days left in the session for the bill to work through committees and then both chambers.
