AG STRANGE REVIEWS COMPLAINT OF VIOLATION OF
ALABAMA GUN LAWS AT HOMEWOOD CITY PARKS
(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 City of Homewood at city parks. After reviewing and investigating the complaint, where
appropriate, the Attorney General’s Office worked with the City of Homewood to achieve
compliance with state law.
The result of the Attorney General’s investigation is summarized below, along with a link to his
determination.
City of Homewood
The Attorney General’s Office reviewed a complaint that the City of Homewood failed to
comply with Alabama law because it prohibited firearms at city parks. After the Attorney
General communicated with the City, the signs prohibiting firearms were removed. Because the
signs are removed, the Attorney General has determined that no further action is required.
