Guns and Ammo in Tuscaloosa will retain its business license after the City Council voted 4-2 against revoking it on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. The decision followed a public hearing where the city argued the store was a public nuisance and dangerous to the public safety, health, and welfare. The council ultimately sided with the store, allowing it to continue operations.
The Incident: The city sought to revoke the business license following an investigation into alleged violations of the city's secondhand dealer ordinance, including claims of not adhering to the required 10-day hold period for secondhand gun sales.
The Hearing: A lengthy hearing was held on September 30, 2025, with arguments presented by both the city's legal team and Guns and Ammo's attorney, Joshua J. Swords.
The Vote: The Tuscaloosa City Council voted 4-2 to deny the motion to revoke the business license.
The Outcome: Guns and Ammo will continue to operate in Tuscaloosa.
