I've been through Alabama once or twice, but never stopped at a rest stop there when I've been driving. That said, when driving elsewhere, I have stopped at the rest stops once in a while when too tired to keep going. Pull in, make sure doors are locked, set phone alarm for an hour to an hour and a half, and ensure my pistol is close at hand before taking a nap. I don't like the rest stops, but with proper precautions, I've never had any problems in them.
Must be those rakish good looks of yours, rhino. They just can't resist you.
It's unclear from the article exactly when this policy went into place, but I believe they have restricted carry in any of their buildings at the rest areas for some time. There is not a GFZ sign into the rest area but there is one on the actual rest rooms.
It is the example of the Tyranny of the Bureaucracies. At every level they will push the boundaries of the 'letter' of the law to create whatever spirit of the law they want. They need to be reigned in at every level.

This appears to have been the law in AL since 1975 but was last amended in 2014. It was authored by the DOT Chief Council...so an unelected 'official'.

Yeah, for raping.
I can't argue with the truth, sir.
Correct! However, I suggest that we consider replacing them with Rape-free Zones. I am 100% opposed to being raped.

Alabama's Governor has ordered all signs removed no later than 5pm local time today. It appears they are now all gone. The following is from handgunlaw.us
Good.
LOL! That would be a case of punishment fitting the crime.

Were it my call, I'd probably add the big floppy shoes to the ensemble.
Rep added!

My kids (all of them ranging in ages from 22 through 2) have all had their moment where being able to walk up next to a space ship was the coolest thing about our Florida trips. Hopefully Alabama gets their head out of the sand before my next trip. I won't stop somewhere that it is advertised the presence of unarmed victims.
Great news!
I might give them a pass, but I've never had an issue at any of the ones I have stopped at, even to overnight. Never have had any friends or family that have had an issue, either. In and out, when we do stop in and most of them have been nice and clean, well maintained and everyone seems on the up and up. Rest stops are no more dangerous than anyplace else, IMO.
