AG STRANGE REVIEWS COMPLAINT OF VIOLATION OF
ALABAMA GUN LAWS AT NEWTON WATER DEPARTMENT
(MONTGOMERY) – Attorney General Luther Strange today released a public statement about a
formal complaint received by his office concerning possible unlawful prohibition of firearms by
the Newton Water Department. After reviewing and investigating the complaint, where
appropriate, the Attorney General’s Office worked with the Town of Newton to achieve
compliance with state law.
The result of the Attorney General’s investigation is summarized below, along with a link to his
determination.
Town of Newton
The Attorney General’s Office reviewed a complaint that the Town of Newton failed to comply
with Alabama law because it prohibited firearms at the Newton Water Department. After the
Attorney General communicated with the Town, the signs prohibiting firearms were removed.
Because the signs are removed, the Attorney General has determined that no further action is
required.
