I am now legal...

[Ruiner]

Wow, there is so much mis-information in this thread.

Allow me to clear some things up as I have had my permit for over 8 years, now:

- If you have a permit, you can put the gun where ever you want in your car. It doesn't have to be visible and you can carry it chambered if you so like.

I suggest that you read this site and view the GA code on the subject:

Carrying without a Permit/License

Date updated: Tuesday, December 28, 2004

Georgia Code 16-11-126

(a) A person commits the offense of carrying a concealed weapon when such person knowingly has or carries about his or her person, unless in an open manner and fully exposed to view, any bludgeon, metal knuckles, firearm, knife designed for the purpose of offense and defense, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument of like character outside of his or her home or place of business, except as permitted under this Code section.

(c) This Code section shall not permit, outside of his or her home, motor vehicle, or place of business, the concealed carrying of a pistol, revolver, or concealable firearm by any person unless that person has on his or her person a valid license issued under Code Section 16-11-129 and the pistol, revolver, or firearm may only be carried in a shoulder holster, waist belt holster, any other holster, hipgrip, or any other similar device, in which event the weapon may be concealed by the person´s clothing, or a handbag, purse, attache case, briefcase, or other closed container. Carrying on the person in a concealed manner other than as provided in this subsection shall not be permitted and shall be a violation of this Code section.

(d) This Code section shall not forbid any person who is not among those enumerated as ineligible for a license under Code Section 16-11-129 from transporting a loaded firearm in any private passenger motor vehicle in an open manner and fully exposed to view or in the glove compartment, console, or similar compartment of the vehicle - this is if you don't have a permit, but would qualify to get one by GA law; provided, however, that any person in possession of a valid permit issued pursuant to Code Section 16-11-129 may carry a handgun in any location in a motor vehicle. - This bolded section is if you do already have a permint

interesting, Ruiner has said exactly what I said 11 hours ago, only in a more educated and understandable manner, yet you are agreeing with him after telling me i'm wrong. lol.

I've been using the Annotated Code search for several years, since '96 or 97...i always kept a few pages regarding speeding and misc. moving violation laws/codes with me.

Not that interesting, man. We were just talking about 2 different things. Later, QD.
