People are so stupid wanting to ban concealed weapons altogether. Criminals are going to carry concealed weapons regardless of what bill gets passed or what laws ban it. You might as well allow law-abiding citizens (who have been fingerprinted and had their background checked) to be in a position to protect themselves against such criminals.

Thats the best news I have heard all week.
I just went on the ga legislation website and read the entire HB89. They made more changes than I thought. *** Walks outside to put a round in the chamber of wifes carry pistol in her POV*** Back on subject.. I think it is awesome that they changed the location the weapon had to be at in the vehicle. Now it can be anywhere and loaded! Neat..
I think it was also a good idea to make it a no drinking policy while carrying a gun in a restaurant. Now instead of the DD excuse for not drinking you can simply reply... I'm Packin.. haha..
Only two men ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Defend your rights or lose them forever.
thing is though, w/this bill passing, it means you can no longer have any alcohol in you at ANY time you're carrying in public.
I dont disagree with that. I wouldnt want to be under the influence while having my gun on me anyway.
I don't disagree with that. A guy in Memphis (illegally) carried his gun at a bar, got drunk and got in a fight, and ended up killing a guy. He will be in jail for a loooooooong time.
I am all for being able to carry in more places, but alcohol makes people do stupid things.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
that is not what the bill says. The bill says you cannot drink while your carrying the weapon. It does not say that you cannot have alcohol in your system. Google the actual bill and read it. Very informative.

thank you!
the bill says that you can carry your weapon into a place that serves alcohol UNLESS the business earns more thatn 50% of their sales from alcohol (aka a BAR).
right, so basically if you've had ONE beer, then end up going out to eat, you cannot carry inside.
i also agree that you shouldn't intoxicated when carrying but i find it slightly annoying you can no longer have a drink w/a meal.
Just wondering how many here have a permit to carry?
might want to make an anon poll thread in the WL, otherwise ppl might not answer honestly :P
done
How many Billy Badasses we got here?
