I live near spaghetti junction, which is not a great part of town but not a terrible one either. I was standing outside Saturday night talking to three female cousins/friends of mine, and a guy drove up and stuck a gun out the window and demanded our purses. Fortunately, I was not carrying my purse, but my cousins Susan just handed him her purse. He didn't get anybody else's though - my cousin Erin dialed 911 on her cell phone while he was standing there, and he took off.
I am still upset about this and unlikely to take any immeidtae action, but I was wondering if anyone there knew a code section of Ga. law to refer me to on carrying a concealed handgun? I am a paralegal and have access to code books. I also own a .38 pistol which my brother gave me years ago, which really just stays in a box under the bed. I now feel I would be safer if I could carry my pistol in my purse if I'm out at night alone - anywhere. I just want to explore the options.
I am not a violent person but I hate feeling unsafe right outside my home, and since it's a condo the private property rules may not apply.
Any thoughts or feedback from anyone would be appreciated.
