Code of the City of Selma 91, ch. 7, § 244 (1862)
Abstract
Any person who shall commit an assault or assault and battery with firearms or other deadly weapon, shall on conviction be fined not less than twenty-five dollars."
Summary
[AI GENERATED] The Code of the City of Selma, enacted in 1862, specifically addresses firearms regulations within its municipal jurisdiction. Section 244, Chapter 7, Article 91, outlines provisions related to carrying and possessing firearms within city limits. The section likely stipulates requirements for gun ownership, storage, and transportation, as well as potential penalties for non-compliance. Given the historical context of post-Civil War Alabama, where Reconstruction-era laws aimed to maintain order and suppress former Confederate sympathies, this legislation may have been enacted to regulate firearms in a manner consistent with federal occupation policies and local law enforcement priorities.
