Gov. Brian Kemp (R) is announcing on Wednesday his plans to pass constitutional carry legislation in Georgia by this spring, telling Breitbart News in an interview ahead of his announcement that “the timing is right now to get it done.”
Kemp is joining several gun rights groups and members of the Georgia Assembly at Adventure Outdoors gun store in Smyrna on Wednesday morning to voice his intentions to sign a constitutional carry bill this legislative session, which begins next week and goes through the end of March.
“The criminals are gonna get guns regardless. We all know that, despite what the left says,” Kemp said in a phone interview Tuesday. “We need to give our citizens the constitutional authority, which they have, to protect themselves, and that allows them to carry.”
Kemp, who has served as governor since 2019, campaigned heavily on the Second Amendment in 2018, when he ran against Democrat activist Stacey Abrams in a highly contentious gubernatorial race.

grasping at straws to save his job...
wrapping oneself in patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
or something like that.
Fair enough. But a win is still a win.
yes, we have the right to keep AND BEAR arms.
this is America
“Carry Permit”???
What does that have to do with “Shall Not Be Infringed”???!!!
Finally! Only took risking his seat.
As always, lets make sure to read the fine print. Tennessee passed a billed called “Constitutional Carry”. I have family in Tennessee that tell me it falls short of actually being Constitutional carry.
perhaps he has seen the light.
and a win is still a win. but i would primary him and i bet a buck to a doughnut he would then run as an independent.
“then-candidate Kemp was met with a barrage of attacks from Democrats during the campaign after he released one ad in which he acted out the role of a protective father pointing a gun at a young man looking to date his daughter.”
His daughter’s boyfriend was murdered in a spectacular car fire under suspicious circumstances during the 2020 vote counting debacle. Maybe that changed his mind about Constitutional Carry.
Notice ‘”GIVE OUR CITIZENS” the constitutional authority...’ 😕
So what is the bill #?
As is traditional, I only read the headline. ;-)
Correction noted.
Kemp was pretty good with some things.
I wish Trump hadn’t attacked him for opening up his state...I think that set up bad blood, and it also undermined Kemp in his conflict with the idiot Stacy Abrams, who thought she was governor, and in his disputes with the idiot Mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms (ugly name), who refused to open up.
It allows you to carry a copy of the Constitution... :0)
“Shall not be infringed” means no permit is neeeded!
Red meat bait for stupid voters.
Kemp assisted the steal in GA.
He wants you to forget about that.
‘Carry Permit’ Should Be the ‘Founding Document of Our Nation’
***That’s STILL buying into the notion that some guvmint should be in the position to issue a carry permit. It is a RIGHT to keep and bear arms in this country. Sometimes the defenders of our rights are kinda tone deaf.
No, that made him stop all audits.
By ‘$tacy abram$’, you mean the actual gov of Georgia. 😂🙌
This one is disingenuous.
He assisted the steal in GA and figures this will distract from that.
