House Bill 89

[efman]

I think it's absolutely ridiculous for him to veto the bill, hell, it's also stupid for everyone to be lobbying against it, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to be educated.

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?

i couldn't have said it better myself reps for you

I'm pretty sure that convicted felons and people with criminal records to a cerain degree will not be allowed to license a gun. When i find the source from where I read that, I will post it.

However, that being said. Psychologically thinking... crime rate would most likely DECREASE. The fact that it would be legal to own and carry a gun in public doesnt mean that the majority nor general population would take advantage of this newfound right/privledge. So what, 1 out of 10 people carries a gun (and thats being modest in the numbers).

Think about it. If you're a young punk teen looking to cause some trouble in a store or some ****** that just got out of jail hoping to find their next victim... would you not be more cautious knowing that the guy next to you MAY have a gun and MAY have a legal right to use it in public? Come on now... criminals take advantage of thier surrounding because they know who has a gun and is capable of stopping them and who doesnt/cant. Its obvious. They look for cops. No cops in sight... WOO HOO! Rapeabitch. However, if this bill gets passed its going to be in everyones mind... wondering "Hmm, I wonder if that person has a gun".... criminals will be more cautious, crime will go down.

Just my 10 cents...
