The introduced bill got getting positive reactions from local authorities, including Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch.

“When you fire a deadly weapon into a house or car, whether it is occupied or unoccupied you are intending to harm someone. The consequences of these actions should be the same,” Burch said in a statement.
