NFA Gun Trust Lawyer Blog

July 1, 2008:  Georgia's new right to Carry Law goes into effect and there already seems confusion over the law.  The Mayor of Atlanta has declared the airport a gun free zone which appears to be in violation of the new law.  Although Federal law covers the airport security check points and beyond, the local laws control in the baggage and check in areas.

Georgia's new law specifically allows for the ability to carry firearms in any area of public transportation which would include the airport.

On May 14th, 2008, Georgia's Governor Sonny Perdue signed legislation which will strengthen Georgia's current right to Carry laws.  This legislation will

1. allow licensed permit holders to possess a firearm in any private motor vehicle, while on any publicly accessible parking lot;
2. prohibit gun dealer entrapment schemes like those orchestrated by New York Mayor Bloomberg;
3. allow concealed carry permit holders to carry in State Parks, recreation areas, wildlife management areas, and public transportation;
4. create a stricter time limit for various stages of the concealed carry license application process; and
5. allow concealed carry permit holders to carry in restaurants.
