Firearms; transfer of deadly weapon and ammunition to intoxicated persons prohibited; criminal penalty provided
HB 150 prohibits transferring deadly weapons (including firearms) or ammunition to anyone known or reasonably believed to be intoxicated. It directly affects individuals who might give weapons to impaired people, such as friends, family, or others. The law defines "intoxicated" broadly as any substance-induced mental or physical impairment and makes violations a Class A misdemeanor. The bill adds this rule to Alabama law, effective October 1, 2025, with penalties applying to gifts, loans, or other transfers.
