Standing outside Gable Sporting Goods in Douglasville, where Gov. Brian Kemp said he bought his daughter Lucy’s first handgun, the governor signed a bill that allows Georgians to carry concealed handguns without first getting a license from the state.
Making good on a 2018 campaign promise, Kemp signed Senate Bill 319, referred to by backers as “constitutional carry.”
SB 319 allows a “lawful weapons carrier” to carry a concealed handgun everywhere license holders currently are allowed — meaning guns would still be prohibited in places such as the secured areas of airports or government buildings that have security at the entrance, including the state Capitol.

Effective immediately.
Open or concealed.
If you are eligible to have a carry permit,
you do not need to pay the money to get one.
The only reason to get one now is for interstate reciprocity.
An armed society is a polite society.
Ideally, many Georgians will advantage themselves enabling a few citizen reprisals signaling to criminals that they need to “get lucky” as Clint Eastwood famously said.
We’ll watch crime stats in Georgia. This could turn out very well.
Excellent news, but it still doesn’t get him out of the stolen-election crapper...
What the Georgia SCOTUS said about Georgia’s first attempt to ban handguns, back in 1846.
* 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.”
One more blue-to-green update for that US map of constitutional carry !
Illustrates the mess he’s in.
Still keep your CCL current.
In case you travel to another state.
Or when the government revokes your privileges.
Effective immediately.
Open or concealed.
If you are eligible to have a carry permit,
you do not need to pay the money to get one.

Doesn’t make up for the hsit he pulled in the election. He’s a criminal.
BUT you better have a lawyer on call! I had one and a license. Just sayin’, common sense.
It might cut back on the number of road rage incidents too. These days, driving on the 85/75 connector after 9pm is a risky move.
They make the laws impossible to know from state to state.
Is there a site one can learn?
Nice, simply NOT KNOWING WHO is armed deters a lot of robberies and idiotic outbursts. Good to hear some positive news!
Still won’t save your scumbag traitorous butt from getting tossed from office.
Kick his ass out regardless.
