Here’s everyone who BamaCarry has endorsed in the 2018 election cycle
BamaCarry, a Second Amendment gun rights group who prides itself on being “Alabama’s only ‘No Compromise’ gun rights group” has endorsed five candidates in the 2018 election cycle. The groups believes gun rights should be protected and preserved in the way that the founding fathers stated, and that “that Every Citizen has the right to bear arms in defense of self and state.” The goal of the organization is to return to those principles and they are currently working to bring Constitutional carry forward in the State of Alabama. Below are their endorsements: Governor: Scott Dawson BamaCarry, INC is proud to endorse Scott Dawson for Governor of the Great State of Alabama. We believe that Scott has the conviction to champion our Second Amendment rights, the courage to stand against liberal elites who constantly seek to chip away at those rights, and the character—built over a lifetime—to follow through on his promises. Every year in Montgomery, BamaCarry has to combat establishment politicians who infringe upon our freedoms—one small compromise at a time. We believe that Montgomery’s systemic problems can’t be corrected by electing yet another career politician who wants to establish another worthless task force. Alabama needs an outsider who has the passion and the vision to lead this state towards a more bold and conservative future. Scott Dawson is the only candidate in the race who fits this bill. Therefore, BamaCarry urges all Alabamians who care about respecting our constitutional liberties—and especially preserving our sacred “right to keep and bear arms”—to elect Scott Dawson as the next Governor of Alabama. Lt. Governor: Will Ainsworth “Throughout his time in the Alabama Legislature and in every vote he has cast, Will Ainsworth has proven to be a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and a strong supporter of gun rights for citizens across the state,” said BamaCarry organizer Bruce Wade. “Will Ainsworth understands that gun free zones put law-abiding citizens in danger, and his plan allowing teachers to voluntarily carry firearms is the only proposal that will defend our classrooms and protect our children.” Attorney General: Alice Martin “Alice Martin is the only Attorney General candidate for those who care about protecting their second amendment rights here in Alabama,” said BamaCarry President Eddie Fulmer. “She is a fighter who will not bow down to the pressures from liberals in and outside of Alabama. She has removed more corrupt elected officials than any other AG! We believe she will do all that’s possible to “clean up” our Statehouse. She is also a firm believer in the Constitution. BamaCarry, INC is proud to endorse her in this race, and our full support is behind her.” State Auditor: Jim Zeigler Jim Zeigler is a man with convictions who cares about protecting our Second Amendment rights in Alabama! He has fought against gun-free zones and no-gun signs on public property and supports Constitutional carry. Jim believes we should have NO conditions on Constitutional rights. Jim has been a member of BamaCarry since we first formed and has participated in every one of our BamaCarry Firearm Freedom Conferences. We believe Jim Ziegler is a fighter who will not end to pressure from liberals in and outside of Alabama. Fighting corruption, He filed the initial ethics complaint against former governor Robert Bentley and has worked to clean up our state government. BamaCarry Inc. is proud to endorse Jim Zeigler in the race for State Auditor, and our full support is behind him. Court of Criminal Appeals: Chris McCool Chris currently serves as District Attorney for the 25th Judicial Circuit of Alabama (Fayette, Lamar, and Pickens Counties), and has been a trial court prosecutor for more than two decades. He has a proven record of 25 years of trial-level experience that is needed on the Court of Criminal Appeals. He has a history of vigorously prosecuting violent crimes, property crimes, sexual assaults, and public corruption case in his circuit. Chris is a farmer who grew up working hard and understands our Alabama values when it comes to gun ownership and gun rights. He is a husband, a father of four, and a pastor, who approaches decisions from the basis of common sense and fairness. We believe he will take his practical courtroom experience and common sense to the appellate courts of this State, and will seek to do justice and to apply the rule of law as a judge. Chris is also a firm believer in the Constitution. BamaCarry, INC is proud to endorse Chris McCool for Place 2, Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals, and our full support is behind him.
Gun rights groups BamaCarry backs Will Ainsworth for Lieutenant Governor
Alabama’s only “no compromise” gun rights group — who believe in gun rights “the way the founders of our country and the original authors of our State constitution intended” and are working working towards Constitutional carry in the State of Alabama— BamaCarry, on Wednesday endorsed Guntersville-Republican State Rep. Will Ainsworth for Lieutenant Governor. “Throughout his time in the Alabama Legislature and in every vote he has cast, Will Ainsworth has proven to be a staunch defender of the Second Amendment and a strong supporter of gun rights for citizens across the state,” said BamaCarry organizer Bruce Wade. “Will Ainsworth understands that gun free zones put law-abiding citizens in danger, and his plan allowing teachers to voluntarily carry firearms is the only proposal that will defend our classrooms and protect our children.” In February, Ainsworth introduced legislation in the State House that would allow some public school teachers and administrators to undergo firearms training and arm themselves during school hours, in order to help prevent school shoots like the one that occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. “Our children are sitting ducks in gun-free schools. As the parent of three public school students, I believe we must act now in order to prevent another tragedy,” Ainsworth posted on Facebook. Ainsworth will face Public Service Commission President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh and State Senator Rusty Glover in the June 5 Republican primary. The winner of the GOP primary will advance to the general election again Democratic hopeful Dr. Will Boyd.

Jim Zeigler to address gun rights group Saturday
State Auditor Jim Zeigler will speak to the pro-gun rights group BamaCarry in Bessemer this weekend on the importance of proactive protection of the Second Amendment and personal liberties through gun ownership. In an advance version of his remarks, Zeigler amends an apocryphal dictum of Thomas Jefferson by declaring, “The price of freedom is eternal, armed, and prepared vigilance.” It is not enough to just support the Second Amendment in principle, says Zeigler. A defender of liberty must put that belief into action. Or as Zeigler puts it: “Just sitting on the front porch watching is not enough. Unless you have a shotgun with you.” Zeigler will deliver his address at BamaCarry’s “Alabama Firearms Freedom Rally,” set for Saturday at the Bessemer Civic Center. The group boasts about 12,500 gun-supporting members across Alabama. In his speech Zeigler, who has held a unique ombudsman-like position in the state Cabinet since his election in 2010, plans to trumpet a recent move by leading gun manufacturer Remington to move operations to Alabama, and to declare that the best defense against crime is not the police or the state, but rather a well-armed and well-prepared citizenry. The BamaCarry convention is set to run from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available to the public for $25.
