Stop bringing guns and flashing them like it's nothing.
I understand this one guy, he has his secured and strapped with safety on, but some of you just flash the damn thing like it's nothing.
just my 2 cents.

i was there...they had lasers....the green ones...u kno the deadly type...?
no actually i was too busy looking @ other peoples setups and talking about cars....
but the funniest shit was that group who were callin ppl out
"nice civic!"
"nice escalade!"
The meet in general is getting out of control. I bet the cops are just waiting to burst in and give everyone a ticket and shutdown the meet.
the probably had carry permits if they were running around in a parking lot with them...nothing wrong with that unless they were pointing them at people or some shit
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
Man, I want to really come back to these meets.
Unless you have a concealed carry permit, you are only legally allowed to carry in full view. If they have a normal carry permit, it does not allow them to conceal it.
If they keep it in the holster, there should be no issue.
If they are waving it around, then you should call the police over there, and let them handle it.
If you are carrying and do not have a concealed carry permit, it is you that is breaking the law and giving the ones that openly carry a bad name. Of course, if you have a concealed carry permit, then you probably wouldn't have made your earlier post.

I thought even with a permit it was illegal to carry at an event.
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-127 Carrying deadly weapons to or at public gatherings; affirmative defenses (a) Except as provided in Code Section 16-11-127.1, a person is guilty of a misdemeanor when he or she carries to or while at a public gathering any explosive compound, firearm, or knife designed for the purpose of offense and defense. (b) For the purpose of this Code section, "public gathering" shall include, but shall not be limited to, athletic or sporting events, churches or church functions, political rallies or functions, publicly owned or operated buildings, or establishments at which alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises. Nothing in this Code section shall otherwise prohibit the carrying of a firearm in any other public place by a person licensed or permitted to carry such firearm by this part. (c) This Code section shall not apply to competitors participating in organized sport shooting events. Law enforcement officers, peace officers retired from state or federal law enforcement agencies, judges, magistrates, solicitors-general, and district attorneys may carry pistols in publicly owned or operated buildings. (d) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of this Code section if a person notifies a law enforcement officer or other person employed to provide security for a public gathering of the presence of such item as soon as possible after learning of its presence and surrenders or secures such item as directed by the law enforcement officer or other person employed to provide security for a public gathering.

It was passed in 1870, and was racially motivated.

I could care less, I'm not going to sonic meet anymore. It is just out of control, and cops won't even do shit. For example, there is area in the parking lot where burnouts are done through out the whole night. Even cops see it and don't do shit about it. They pulled one guy over last night in the parking lot, didn't do anything to him. The guy just came did U turn and did burn out again. And the parking lot is full of black lines, cops suck up there, I think they have too much donuts.
Man these meets sound fun... not..
It doesn't matter if they are or aren't. Just walking around letting it be seen is just an attention getter. I'm not saying this is what happened, but from what I've seen other people do. A dude may have a permit and because he knows he is legally carrying, he wants to show it off.
Not this kind of event, simon. That refers to more of a sanctioned event. Carnivals, parades, stadium events and the like. Later, QD.
they were waving them around
Now that is probably illegal, and in that case, you should call the cops if they have them out of the car, and out of the holster. Let the cops figure out if they are breaking the law. I'm guessing that the cops will need to catch them in the act, but that shouldn't be too hard if they are brandishing them.

I wasn't there when they were doing it, lol. Just saying that they were waving them since the OP said it and a few others did. Sounds stupid as hell.. I do enjoy seeing the burnouts and idiots doing stupid shit. I park all the way away from them, so they don't hit my car.
how about the guy with the silver gto that is always strappped.. hes the only one ive seen with a gun..
and i was really surprised that the cops didnt care.

he has a carrying permit and is not waving it around like an idiot
The people complaining about them carrying at a meet. If they are waving them around out of the holster someone needs to contact the police. If they just have them in their holster on their person there shouldn't be a problem. Its not like the gun is gonna jump out and shoot you.

How is it irresponsible to carry? Unless you have a guilty conscious and carry it with bad intentions, there is nothing irresponsible about carrying a gun.
Last I checked, Ga doesn't have a special concealed weapons permit. One licence allows you to carry it how you please so long as it is in a holster.
Depends on the situation. Public gatherings allow you to carry but you must inform the proper personnel of the presence of the firearm.
This is completely null and void and does not pertain to this situation since the Sonic meets happen on privately owned property.
This is where it gets illegal.
I haven't checked up on the changes in the law in years, as I don't carry to Sonic meets or anywhere else. :-)
I stand corrected, as the laws have changed over the years. I did just look it up though.
As for Public Gatherings: The Public Gathering Law was repealed when SB308 was signed into law on June 4, 2010. The Public Gathering was law in Georgia for 140 years and was one of the last Jim Crow laws to be repealed in Georgia.

The Georgia Firearms license expires on the date on your license, and currently works as Georgia Weapons License.
And the Georgia Weapons License now states that you can carry concealed and not in a holster.
