Governor Perdue of Georgia Signs Monumental Right-to-Carry Reform Bill!

[tntwatt]

Today, Wednesday, May 14, Governor Sonny Perdue (R) signed House Bill 89 into law. This NRA supported measure makes numerous improvements to Georgia’s Right-to-Carry laws and represents the most comprehensive pro-gun reform measure to be enacted in nearly 20 years.

This critical Right-to-Carry Reform legislation will strengthen Georgia’s current laws by:

· allowing licensed carry permit holders to possess a firearm in any private motor vehicle, while on any publicly accessible parking lot;

· prohibiting gun dealer entrapment schemes, such as those orchestrated by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg;

· allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry in State Parks, recreational areas, wildlife management areas, and public transportation;

· creating a stricter time limit for various stages of the concealed carry license application process; and

· allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry in restaurants.

Thats awesome. Im glad to hear it considering that I will be living in GA in 2 weeks! I was one of many who wrote Gov. Perdue and urged him to sign the bill. Now if I could only carry on campus...
I know, get an inch, want a mile, But it might be in the future!!
