Why is it "a good reason" for you to be prohibited from defending yourself in precisely those locations where you are more likely to come in contact with predatory goblins? (Whom, in your ideal world, recognize the fact that they're in a world of low-hanging fruit when they enter those venues!)
"I am free to carry a concealed weapon in many places, but there are restrictions, and for the most part they are there for a good reason. I can't carry into places that serve alcohol, big public gatherings like concerts, and airports."

First of all, I don't have to go to places where I feel like someone would view me as 'low hanging fruit' ... for the most part, churches, concerts, etc. (the areas where I can't carry) tend to be pretty much crime free from what I have seen.
My take on restricting CCW in bars and places that serve alcohol is an attempt to deal with the fact that people drinking alcohol tend to lose some of their faculties, hence we don't let them drive drunk. I don't want to handle a firearm when I have been drinking, and I'm not keen on having 'Joe the angry drunk' packing a .45 when he has had one too many. And most of the places that I would choose to go that allow alcohol also have some pretty decent security, so I have never felt threatened in those places.
Airports are a known entity at this point. The original article here is about someone who was very careless. The 'I didn't know I had a loaded gun in my carry-on' excuse is totally lame, and someone that careless should not handle a gun. Period.
Again, it isn't a perfect world, and strictly speaking 'shall not be infringed' means exactly what it says ... still, I am comfortable with the way CCW is written in Georgia.
