The law exempts home/business owners in school zones, as well as those in transit.
Next big item on the agenda is a life-time carry license, and reforming the "public gathering" clause.
For those of you in Ga, join Georgia Carry (http://georgiacarry.org/) it has been growing like crazy and is making an impact on both Legislators and Legislation.
Sounds like if you're a 5'10" criminal with a silver semi-auto, you starts rakin' in the dough from the local rubes! If you're not a criminal put your house up for sale...lotsa criminals looking for cheap homes, too!
Q: May I carry at school?
A: No! Georgia law provides that possessing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school is a felony, punishable by up to ten years in prison. There are numerous exceptions, however, and the most relevant are: A person with a firearms license may carry a firearm while dropping off or picking up a student. Off of the actual school property, a non-student may possess a firearm while in a vehicle in transit through the school zone, and any person residing in a school zone or conducting lawful business in a school zone (not on school property) may possess a firearm. In addition, teachers and other school personnel may keep a firearm locked in a locking compartment of a motor vehicle while parked on campus.
A school in Georgia includes public and private schools, colleges, and technical schools.
