Today, the House voted 100-67 to pass Senate Bill 319, the Senate’s constitutional carry bill, with substitute language previously added in the House Judiciary Committee. It will now go back to the Senate for immediate consideration.
Constitutional carry recognizes the right of a law-abiding adult who is legally allowed to carry a concealed firearm, to do so without first having to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have the right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. Additionally, this legislation maintains the existing concealed handgun license system, so citizens who still wish to obtain a permit may do so.
Currently, there are 24 states that already have constitutional carry. Of those, Alabama, Ohio, and Indiana joined that list just this year. Governor Brian Kemp has stated his support for constitutional carry, so the General Assembly just has to send a bill to his desk.
NRA thanks Representative Mandi Ballinger, Senator Jason Anavitarte, Speaker David Ralston, Representatives Alan Powell, Rick Jasperse, and J. Collins, Senate President Pro Tempore Butch Miller, Senator Brian Strickland, and all the cosponsors in each chamber.
BUT... BUT... BUT... there is no difference between Democrats and the GOP.
Georgia should have had CC decades ago.
Why shouldn't we hold ineffective, uncaring politicians' feet to the fire?
What will Kemp do?
The Ga State Supreme Court ruled that back in 1846 when Ga tried to ban handguns.
* Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846).
“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”
Affirming the 2nd doesn’t quite make up for Nov 2020
For Texugrl, good luck with your loser party. Oh wait, you can't vote in GA?? Then shut the F up.
Yup… an armed society is a polite society.
Must have passed it while Princess Stacy “Brazil Butt” Abrams was away starring as the Death Star in the new Star Shrek show.
Georgia will become the 25th unrestricted CCW state: https://www.gun-nuttery.com/maps/2022.gif
For the longest time it was just Vermont. This issue is one of the very few that’s moving in our direction.
Yeah, I guess he hasn’t signed it yet. He’ll probably crap his pants.
Can someone please post the 24 states with constitutional carry?
Everything in Green now. Pink has passed and will go into effect at a later date.
Thank you for posting the map. You were FAST! :)
“Affirming the 2nd doesn’t quite make up for Nov 2020”
