ATLANTA – Its official name is the “Safe Carry Protection Act.”
But critics are calling it the “Guns Everywhere Bill.”
At noon Wednesday, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is scheduled to sign the sweeping legislation into law. One of the most permissive state gun laws in the nation, it will allow licensed owners to carry firearms into more public places than at any time in the past century, including churches, bars and government buildings that don't have security checkpoints.
The law also authorizes school districts to appoint staffers to carry firearms. It allows churches to "opt-in" if they want to allow weapons. Bars could already “opt-in” to allow weapons, but under the new law they must opt out if they want to bar weapons.
Permit-holders who accidentally bring a gun to an airport security checkpoint will now be allowed to pick up their weapon and leave with no criminal penalty. (At Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a record 111 guns were found at TSA screening areas last year.)
i'm back again quoting Joan Walsh's book title "what is wrong with white people", this is more license to murder and in bars and churches why???? makes no sense it is just a play to reign in radical gun grippers and solidify their vote, but at who's expense your 3 year old or your grandma or you?
what do you think Jesus would say about bring weapons of mass destruction in to a house of "worship"? drunken haters are bad enough but an armed drunk is murder and mayhem looking for victims. well NRA is happy that's all that matters in republicanland because American lives sure don't matter.
