Sons of Georgia, GFODL is calling up everyone who is able and willing to take a stand.
As some of you may be aware, the was a couple of bills in the GA legislature that would of reformed Georgia's CCW law. As it stands with the current law:
Your permits are no good in any restaurant that serves alcohol.
Your permits are no good at any publicly owned building, including federal, state, county, or quasi-governmental specially chartered authorities holding land or property in trust for the public.
You can't possess your firearm, even with a permit, even unloaded, where any group of people gather together.
It's a FELONY to carry a weapon on the MARTA mass-transit system, no matter whether it's a bus or train.
It's a FELONY to bring a gun on school property, even with a permit, unless you're dropping off or picking up a student. This means any school, college, daycare, or church (nearly all churches have child care facilities, thus arguably making the whole building off-limits all of the time).
No carry in any of the many state or municipal parks, even the wild ones where you will get no signal on your cellphone and the nearest ranger station is an hour's drive away.
If you carry in your own car without a permit, it must be carried openly. In a car, that might mean you have to put it on the dashboard. It's ridiculous.
The CCW reforms bills have constantly been stuck in special judiciary committee by chairman Curtis Jenkins. He lost his seat to a republican and now with the GOP in total control of the state for the first time in 130 years, now is the time to get something done about this atrocity.
The GA constitution only grants the General Assembly to regulate the manner in which arms may be borne. Clearly the General assembly has abused their constiutional authority by regulating where arms may be borne, not how they are borne (carried).
We are asking all of those who wish to have CCW reform in GA to join with the GFODL and help us push our bill in the legislature by contacting their rep in the state house and demanding their report. Politely remind them that your vote is what put them in their position.
