We can already carry in the majority of the places you eat regularly and it's perfectly legal. The restaurant change has to do with establishments that serve alcohol, and we would/will only be able to carry in restaurants that generate more than 51% of their income from food sales.

Marta, well, GA is one of VERY few states that don't allow carry on public transportation. As far as parks, it's only state parks. We can already carry in local parks, as it's illegal for a county or municipality to initiate any form of gun control beyond that of the state Constitution, it's a legal term known as preemption, and though several places do it, many have been sued over this and lost.

What most people fail to realize about GA's draconian gun laws is that they're NOT derived from safety standpoint. They date back to the era of the Jim Crow laws which were laws enforced to help control blacks in the post Civil War era.

Also, anyone who plans to use a firearm illegally doesn't give a damn whether they're allowed to have it or not, they're just going to have it. We go through hell, and lots of buearocracy and red tape just to be able to LEGALLY protect ourselves, our families, and others in the event of someone posing a serious threat to them, why limit where we can do so?
great job, i wish this was common knowledge. But most people lack the brain power to understand. +reps to a fellow GCO member!!
