Hey guys,
I did a search, and I'm still confused.
I'm traveling to Georgia for a week to attend some company required training.
I'm used to carrying these knives, or some very similar, with me all the time:

What CAN I carry in Georgia, and what CAN'T I carry?
What is "open carry" and what is concealed?
What is considered an "offensive and defensive" knife?
Do I need to go ahead and buy a small Brown Mule knife and call it good?

I'll be on the training site most of the time, and I don't think I'll have to worry about it then. What I'm worried about is when I go into town, or when I'm traveling to and from the airport.

Thanks a bunch,
stdlrf11

Just saw this website mentioned in another post: www.knifelawsonline.com. It's run by a THR member.

Be aware that some cities have their own funky laws. In Atlanta I can legally carry my pistol concealed, but the 3 inch folder in my pocket would be illegal. Treat Atlanta like you would England. I would take the non-byrd spyderco or multi-tool in Atlanta.
