katie is doing slides on gun laws in alabama Alabama: State law requires licensed gun dealers to provide handgun sale records to the Secretary of State and local law enforcement, but the state does not keep any records on the sale of rifles or shotguns or on the "private" sale of handguns by individuals. The handgun sale records are maintained by police for use in gun tracing and related criminal investigations. But the state does not automatically compare past gun sale records with recent criminal activity to identify and disarm felons and others who bought guns legally, but later committed a crime or otherwise became ineligible to keep possession of their firearms. (KATIE T.) abama: No state requirement that gun owners register their firearms. Police do not know how many guns are in the state or where they are. The lack of registration data makes it more difficult for police to trace guns used in crime, identify illegal gun traffickers or hold gun owners accountable for their weapons. There is no state system to automatically identify and disarm felons and other prohibited people who bought guns legally in the past, but later committed a crime or otherwise became ineligible to keep possession of their firearms.(KATIE T.)

Ballistics is a science which is important for soldiers, law enforcement, hunters, and anyone who seeks to protect their life, their home, and their family. The study of ballistics can help any shooter to achieve better results from their rifle, pistol, or shotgun.
