| Georgia: Governor Perdue Signs Monumental Right-to-Carry Reform Bill! |
| Wednesday, May 14, 2008 |
|
Please Thank Governor Perdue Today! Today, Wednesday, May 14, Governor Sonny Perdue (R) signed House Bill 89 into law. This NRA supported measure makes numerous improvements to Georgia’s Right-to-Carry laws and represents the most comprehensive pro-gun reform measure to be enacted in nearly 20 years. This critical Right-to-Carry Reform legislation will strengthen Georgia’s current laws by:
Thank you to all of the NRA members who answered the call in support of HB89. Your action played a pivotal role in the enactment of this much-needed legislation. Without you this victory would have been impossible. |
oh, its another terrible horrible Pub ......gee, reading some around here makes me think that Pubs can’t do a thing right....well, it seems like one did a good thing here....
Perdue in 2012!!!!
(What, it’s not that early to start thinking to the future...)
hoooray!
Correction: These things expand some privileges-to-carry. Only Vermont and Alaska recognize a right-to-carry, a right being the sovereignty to act without permission from others.
But don’t both Vermont and Alaska allow local jurisdictions to enact stricter measures?
Damn good start.
I thought these three links are pertinent to the politics of food and energy - donkeys create problems and prevent solutions - UTOPIAN NITWITS!
The Bum Rap on Biofuels MUST READ!
Don’t Freak Out - Bjørn Lomborg speaks climate sense to nonsense.
Prayers for Jim Robinson (Updates at #279, #436) Say a prayer, please.
Alaska went from privileges-to-carry rights. I'll take baby steps for the time being. Let the prohibitionts challenge it. IICR, Wyoming tried passing a similar bill.
“oh, its another terrible horrible Pub ......gee, reading some around here makes me think that Pubs can’t do a thing right....well, it seems like one did a good thing here....”
Individual Republicans do *very* good things from time to time. It’s the political party and related infrastructure that is often inept, corrupt, and useless.
I'm not so sure I would go that far. Perdue clearly waited until the last moment to sign this bill and only did so with moistened finger thrust skyward for one final reading of the political winds. It would have become law without his signature at midnight last night, unless he vetoed it. I wouldn't exactly call that strong support for the measure. There are a host of other issues for which Perdue should raise serious eyebrows regarding his first term, his handling of the water situation, for incidence.....
Yesterday the local radio was breathlessly reporting that he would have to veto it that day or it would pass into law. Today, I didn't hear it mentioned at all. Funny about that. The TV news reported he signed it last night, but they hastened to reassure all of us that it would be challenged in court.
Perdue was a lifelong democrat prior to his switching parties in 1998(?) to take advantage of the Republican popularity at the time.
The best defense is a good offense, and this is an excellent example. Rather than waiting for the next leftist anti-gun effort to defend against, Georgia gun rights activists have taken the fight to the leftists by pushing these concealed weapons expansion efforts.
Wasn’t swayed by the urinalconstipation editorial yesterday that said there is zero evidence that more guns on the street deters crime.
Perdue knows (as do most people with more than a room temperature IQ) that the media lies outright when they're not just distorting the facts on the gun issue. What he took into account was the declining popularity of their lies. The Urinal's circulation is in a steady decline, and, outside of their core urban black readership that reads it for the race baiting, achievement bashing, and incessant urging for larger more socialist government, the voters of Ga largely dispise the fishwrapper.
well alrighty!
Congrats! Our libtard Gov. “Eyebrows” Kaine vetoed our restaurant carry bill. One day, I dream of conservative government.....

I don’t know. First I’ve heard of that.
In any case, if you need to apply to The State for a permit, especially when there is a fee involved, we aren’t talking about a right but rather a privilege. I applaud the Governor’s legislature and governor for this, but the NRA and everyone else should be accurate and call it what it is, which is an expansion of privileges for those who are licensed to exercise them.
