Oh, you can buy a gun, long or shot, even without a permit and take it home that day. You can't carry it however, except in your car. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months to get the permit.

You can't wear the gun openly or concealed without a permit and in some jurisdictions you will get hassled by LE for wearing it WITH a permit ("It's SCARING people").

Atlanta is the worst. Full of Yuppies and Metrosexuals that freak out at the sight of a gun.

But on the other hand, there is Kennesaw Georgia, where by law you MUST own a gun!

Thank you Dr. for the clarification. I was only going off the what I was told from my buddy in Griffin.

If it weren't for Atlanta ("the city that ate Georgia"), Georgia might be right up there with the most gun friendly states.

Georgia has been making a lot of progress in the gun rights department lately though.

This is Good News, Especially since Mark Kelly & Gabby Giffords Dumb Anti-Gun Group were determined THEY would defeat this bill.
I knew they would fail.What's up with Kelly anyway. Navy Captain and Anti-Gun?
Reckon He & Her just want the Money & Power?
