Just thought I’d share with you something that has been brought to my attention. The new aquarium, billed as the worlds largest, in Atlanta Georgia, does not allow lawful CCW, even for full time sworn LEO’s.
For those that might not know it. Georgia has very liberal CCW permits. They are easy to obtain and there is also reciprocity with several other states.
Here is a direct quote from their web site (http://www.georgiaaquarium.org)
“Is there a security check before you get into the aquarium?
Yes. There are no guns, knives, matches, lighters or fishing poles allowed inside the Aquarium.”
Contact information for the aquarium is:
Georgia Aquarium
225 Baker Street
Atlanta, GA 30313
404-581-4000

I am making no statements about them not allowing CCW’s inside their private establishment, except to say that it is their right. I don’t to agree with it or spend my $$ going there though. I just thought I’d post the info here for anyone that might be planning on taking their family to see the pretty fish. From what I have read, and people I have talked to about the displays – all say it is incredible experience.
I am going to cross post this on a few sites in order to let the maximum number of people know. The aquarium does NOT have lock boxes to put CCW’s into, even for LEO’s.
So if you plan on going and taking your gun be prepared to leave it in some place safe, other than on your hip
Regards,
Rob
