Bob Barr is a lawyer and should know Georgia law, but here is what my carry permit says:

16-11-127 (GCA 26-2902) Deadly weapons at public gatherings

(a) Except as provided in Code Section 16-11-127.1, a person is guilty of a misdemeanor when he carries to or while at a public gathering any explosive compound, firearm, or knife designed for the purpose of offense and defense.

(b)For the purpose of this Code section, "public gathering" shall include, but shall not be limited to, athletic or sporting events, churches or church functions, political rallies or functions, publicly owned or operated buildings, or establishments at which alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises.

Nothing in this Code section shall otherwise prohibit the carrying of a firearm in any other public place by a person licensed or permitted to carry such firearm by this part.

(c) None of this applies to law enforcement or other elites.

A "weapon" is only "deadly" when it is loaded... remember the 'brick'.. now that is a deadly assault weapon.

What a crock! You guys aren’t allowed to attend political rallies armed? Was this law written in the Black Panther era, like the law passed in CA after they showed up at the state capitol with rifles strapped on? Regardless it needs correcting.

"Georgia law churches or church functions"

Does this include when a pastor says bring all your guns to church like what happened in Georgia on the 4th of July?
