Last week, the Georgia state legislature approved a sweeping “guns everywhere” bill that is expected to be signed into law by Governor Nathan Deal.
The bill is being called “historic” and is generating a lot of support and of course, a lot of controversy, as The New York Times reports:
Americans for Responsible Solutions, founded by Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was critically wounded in a mass shooting in 2011, calls it “the most extreme gun bill in America” and the “guns everywhere” legislation. The National Rifle Association, which lobbied for the bill, calls it “the most comprehensive pro-gun” bill in recent state history, and described the vote at the Capitol on Thursday as “a historic victory for the Second Amendment.”

Gifford just wants more attention. Her and her nut job husband,
In Georgia, you go to PD get background check... Pay for it, got fill out form for Conceal Carry Permit, done
Permit good for FIVE years.... $50
In Maryland - must have a reason to feel your life is in imminent danger, apply wait 3 years get denied 10 times...
Hmmm which one is better?
11:12: BETTER would be constitutional carry. you have a firearm, you can carry
I'm actively looking to move to Georgia for this very reason, and, as I am approaching retirement age, the low cost of living there and the low taxes really make this state worth looking in to. I just hope they don't get too overpopulated too soon by intelligent Marylanders!
Yup 4:45 better avoid the intelligent , you might catch it.
