Georgia

[DSARGE]

I found out today that the wife and I are moving to South Georgia in April for at least the next four years. I noticed where GA and TX has repriciocity. Just wondering if anyone has any experiance carrying there or if there are any major differences. Seems like I am just getting well versed in TX CHL laws (mainly thanks to this site), and I gotta switch horses. Thanks in advance.

Click on "GA"...

These are the big points, but probably not all you'll have to do to carry in Georgia...

And for that I tried to link some information on the Georgia requirements...But since PDO is down, and the state website is like trying to play a straight game of "CandyLand"...I could not find the procedures for obtaining a Georgia Concealed Weapons Permit...

Maybe someone else can find that, because it is not one I keep up with...

Lots of places are off limits in GA. Their CHL law needs a lot of improvement. I'm glad I live in TX.

Yep, not a lot of legislators shaking the tree there in that state...But they seem content about it though...

The "public gathering" prohibition is a big flaw in the Georgia law. It makes movie theaters, parades, rallies, meetings, etc., all off limits.

You really have to wonder sometimes...

Cutting off the nose dispite the face analogy comes to mind...

Yep, did some research, and looks like the only place I can carry is pretty much in a 5ft radius of my couch--unless there are people gathered there. Also, most of the threads are about open carry. Looks like a new adventure. I was hoping it would be the "promised CHL land" with laws that say you have to have at least two handguns on you at all times, everywhere you go--or random vehicle inspections require a minimum of .45 cal per person on board. Guess I have to deal with what I got.

Man, did some research and found out my active duty ID card stands in leiu of a GA CHL and you can even carry in MORE places than a standard CHL holder. Still ain't Texas, though. Thanks for the inputs.

Hey, when I moved to GA, I switched to GPDO. You can't stay here, man. You'll think hospitals have to post 51% signs and keep your eyes open for 30.06 postings when you really need to watch out for all the ridiculous places off-limits. ;)
