It is worth a shot, nonetheless.
I'd be amused to hear the twisted rationale the courts would use to strike down punitive reciprocity policies. I don't doubt that they'd manage it, but lack the imagination and perversity needed to envision their deformed "logic"

It wouldn't be too difficult to imagine how they'd do it. The states of New York, Massaschusetts,
et al., are merely setting conditions whereby you may travel in their states. This law would essentially have Georgia forbid it altogether, and the instant some trucker with Massaschusetts plates gets stopped at the border, in comes the Commerce Clause and out goes Georgia's law. Not saying it's right, but it's inevitable, and most people around the country aren't going to take to the streets over it, either.
But like I said, that particular hypothetical really doesn't matter much, since the state of Georgia will never, ever pass such a law - it'd simply cost too much money. And as much lip-service as your state legislators may pay to the Second Amendment, at the end of the day, they like that free out-of-state money more. ;)

Not that I mean to discourage you from trying, but you will have an uphill battle, I think ;)
