Sounds like this bill will have both sides fighting it...

Yep.
It has good and bad points. The original intent was to remove some of the 'confusing' language in how the current laws are worded, like what a 'public gathering' is.

Looks more like a classic example of a politician introducing something he knows won't pass....all just to get his name in the light.

Have to wait and see.

I agree, he gets his name in the papers, and gets votes from both sides... that is a win win.

Maybe they will weed out all the original bad crap and pass the good stuff.



Georgia gun bill advances to House subcommittee

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA —

A Georgia bill that would allow licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons in most places is headed to a House subcommittee.

Rep. Rich Golick (R-Smyrna), said a subcommittee will be able to “hash out” some of the concerns about the bill.

Most of the discussion centers on an expansion of the rights of licensed gun owners to carry their weapons to churches, bars and college campuses.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Tim Bearden (R-Villa Rica), told committee members Thursday the existing law is “extremely confusing” to gun owners and law enforcement.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports an overflow crowd appeared at the hearing, including gun rights supporters wearing orange badges that read: “Guns Save Lives.”
