I am not worried about general tests. I am ex-military (and have recently been notified that I may be subject to involuntary recall if needed, so I suppose I am also Inactive Reserve) and have trained with firearms to form and standard from years of carrying when I was in.
What about the other requirements? Such as having to register and the waiting period, not to mention the DL requirements. Alabama and Georgia are too hot and humid for living there, I am afraid.
I decided to take a year off around 1994 and research my ancestors who came from Georgia. Actually all but that one had been in Florida since the 1700s.
If I remember right, all I had to do was surrender my Florida DL and take an easy written test. Couldn’t have been much easier. I got a concealed carry license which I think was $12 at the time. I didn’t have to do anything but show my drivers license.
Northern Georgia in the mountains is about as pleasant in the Summer as one could want. Just stay away from Atlanta.
The humidity in Georgia and Alabama is no worse than any other state except the arid ones.
