My understanding on that is that MARTA tried to ban CCW on public trasit, got challenged in court, and lost.

Thanks. This may someday be a valuable piece of info if someday I feel the self-destructive need to ever ride MARTA again.

It's been many moons ago, but I've had one too many train rides with the hair on the back of my neck standing on end.

Regarding CCW on MARTA:

Georgia Code 16-12-123
(b) Any person who boards or attempts to board an aircraft, bus, or rail vehicle with any explosive, destructive device, or hoax device as such term is defined in Code Section 16-7-80; firearm; hazardous substance as defined by Code Section 12-8-92; or knife or other device designed or modified for the purpose of offense and defense concealed on or about his or her person or property which is or would be accessible to such person while on the aircraft, bus, or rail vehicle shall be guilty of a felony...

Without doing an exhaustive search, I didn't see an exception clause for permit holders. At first glance, it seems MARTA is a victim disarmament zone ...
