Georgia is one of the most pro 2nd Amendment states in the nation. It is not at all unusual for both candidates in an election (Roy Barnes vs Sonny Perdue or Nathan Deal, for instance) to have A ratings from the NRA. It is also not unusual for a cop to look for any reason to do a patdown or car search, especially if the driver was perceived as being snooty. If this cop is hassling someone over a pro-gun bumper sticker and nothing else I would consider it an isolated incident.
I’ve been pulled over by almost every police in the metro Atlanta area. I always volunteer that I’m carrying. I never got hassled. Not once.
Well its not too bad here but I wouldn’t say one of the most pro 2nd ammendment states. In GA you cannot open carry unless you have a CCL. Half the cops don’t even know the rules. My fiancee’ had a Gwinnett County cop tell him a few months ago that he could open carry but later he found out that is not true. I used to live and work in Sandy Springs. Its a real Yuppie area so the cops there are probably not into the pro gun stuff. Overall I think the cops would be happy if none of us had a gun.
Hopefully with the GA legislature having almost a GOP supermajority we will see some additional improvements in the gun laws here.
