GA passes major pro-gun bill

Posted by David Hardy · 11 April 2008 02:40 PM

Story here. It allows CCW permittees to carry in mass transit, parks, establishments whose primary income is food (i.e, restaurants rather than bars). It also broadens carrying in vehicles for non-CCW holders, shortens the time for permit issuance, sets up Mayor Bloomberg if he again tries straw man entrapment, and does a lot more. CHeck out the post for details.

To contact the governor and urge him to sign, go here.

Not until the fat boy signs.

I just got back from Atlanta (and Stone Mountain!) two days ago. I didn't carry because GA laws are so messed up (well, that and my holster broke. Mexican carrying a Glock is just asking for a testiculectomy).

Did they remove that stupid, fuzzy law about public gatherings? There's no way to tell what a gathering could entail.

Bests Florida, but we did OK as well.

Public gathering is not gone but narrowed. Maybe one day we'll get that horrible vestige of racism out of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. This bill is huge progress.

As a FL-licensed carrier (reciprocity with GA), and one who visits GA occasionally, I took the opportunity to write the Governor on this matter.

Hurrah! Governor Purdue signed HB 89 into law today. It will go into effect July 1, 2008. Thank you for your help in getting the word out on this important legislation.
