Tim Williams actually has a permit and receipt for the gun

The first rule of the REC is you dont talk about the REC.

The second rule of the REC is you. dont. talk. about the REC.

The statute says you have to "possess" a valid permit. It does not state you have to "actually possess" a permit.

Why does this matter you ask?

Possession
The ownership, control, or occupancy of a thing, most frequently land or Personal Property, by a person.The U.S. Supreme Court has said that "there is no word more ambiguous in its meaning than possession" (National Safe Deposit Co. v. Stead, 232 U.S. 58, 34 S. Ct. 209, 58 L. Ed. 504 [1914]). Depending on how and when it is used, the term possession has a variety of possible meanings. As a result, possession, or lack of possession, is often the subject of controversy in civil cases involving real and personal property and criminal cases involving drugs and weapons—for example, whether a renter is entitled to possession of an apartment or whether a criminal suspect is in possession of stolen property.

Actual Possession
"Actual possession is what most of us think of as possession—that is, having physical custody or control of an object" (United States v. Nenadich, 689 F.Supp. 285 [S.D. N.Y. 1988]). Actual possession, also sometimes called possession in fact, is used to describe immediate physical contact.

All I know is that with my background and soon to be law license, I need to be on the payroll at Bama educating these players.

I was referring more to the student athlete part of it. as I am fully aware that many students are not there to get an education but to party. and parents who did the same thing know exactly what their kids are up to. And no I am not a prude. I paid for my way while going to school so partying off mom and dad's dime was not an option for me.

Well that is why I will require a retainer from UA. A retainer and a game day box so I can keep a good eye on them.

The soapboxers never made a dumb mistake when they were 18-22. Never.

I am thankful everyday that I wasn't under the constant surveillance that exists now. Young people have very little room for error anymore.

If there was snapchat and facebook when I was 18-22 my whole family would have probaly disowned me.

It is my understanding that concealed carry requires actual possession -- that one must have the permit on his person while carrying. That from a Detective.

I think with the open carry you can possess a gun but you can not conceal it in your car. It has to be locked in the trunk of the car. Plus, I am also not sure but arent guns illegal on campus by students. So he may not have been on campus at the time but he would not be allowed to bring it onto campus. The open carry laws are confusing to say the least.
