  1. Constitutional Carry in Georgia

    I didn't take it as a refutation, and I appreciate you posting it. I also agree with the other posters here that (A) it is rarely if ever prosecuted without some other crime (like dealing drugs in the school zone) and (B) would be difficult for the federal government to catch and prosecute...

  2. Turkey Hunting - Guide or Just Try It?

    I have never been turkey hunting. Is this something for which you, if you had no experience, would want to hire a guide your first time or two, or is it something to just go out and try and hope for the best? Any recommendations for guides?

  3. Constitutional Carry in Georgia

    FreedomUSMC, the problem with school zones is the federal law, which applies 1000 feet from the school property. You are only exempt from the federal law with a state issued carry license. Those carrying within 1000 feet of a school without a license are not violating Georgia state law, but...

  4. Constitutional Carry in Georgia

    Yes, if you are eligible for a Georgia Weapons Carry License and not otherwise ineligible to possess a firearm under federal law (hey, I did not write SB319, but that is what it says).

  5. Constitutional Carry in Georgia

    What is more likely to happen is that they will start making places off limits. They will start with repealing preemption so local governments can make their property off limits. Now, you will have no way to know you are even violating the law unless you hire an attorney to research the local...

  6. Georgia to Become the First State to Felonize Citizen's Arrest

    Disturbing, isn't it? Just look at this thread with all of the praise for repealing the only laws that allow one to detain a criminal. By this summer, you will be committing a crime if you detain a criminal even for two minutes awaiting the police. Maybe you can get away with it by not...

  7. Georgia to Become the First State to Felonize Citizen's Arrest

    He certainly was jogging, and there is plenty of evidence that he was a regular jogger. Yes, he rushed an armed individual after trying to escape unsuccessfully several times. I would have defended myself as well (except when I exercise, I am armed, so they would have taken bullets). I guess...

  8. Georgia to Become the First State to Felonize Citizen's Arrest

    We don't repeal good laws because some persons who did not follow the law committed horrendous crimes.

  9. Georgia to Become the First State to Felonize Citizen's Arrest

    LOL! Hope the car is clean. I am not comforted by her claim that - even though false imprisonment is a felony crime committed for detaining a criminal - that she does not personally know any District Attorney who would prosecute. There are a number of things to consider. First, the elements...

  10. Georgia to Become the First State to Felonize Citizen's Arrest

    I am not trying to be rude, but you are wrong even if "pretty sure." The bill's author admitted at the Judiciary Committee hearing that Georgia will be the only state in the nation with no way to detain a criminal until the police arrive.

    I did. Some of them are harsh, and I apologize.

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    The kind of person who does make citizen's arrests a lot . . . No. Any arrest or detention of any kind, ever - it would be a problem. Here we define "problem" as you go to jail and are charged with a felony and face a potential decade in prison (the penalty for false imprisonment in Georgia...

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    And yet it is still beyond your grasp. If GAgunLAWbooklet's explanation does not help you to understand it, then ask any relevant questions, and I will try to assist you. Wait. Obscure? I thought you just said, "The law itself is quite plain." Note that the post you are quoting does not...

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    It is this kind of mocking dismissive crap that makes you feel superior to those that you think you are mocking. Yet you have the moral low ground here. You want to criminalize the conduct of good men who undertake a duty of citizenship that you find either too dangerous (because you are a...

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    You seriously think you get to criminalize my good conduct because of how some journalist chose to write an article? The fact remains he did not arrest the robber and turn him over to the police. The police also released the man. Why? Because he did nothing wrong. There are several lessons...

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    Do you always seek to criminalize things for which you, personally, see "no need?" That's what gun control folks do. There is "no need" for an AK-47 pattern semi-auto, and somehow this lack of perceived need translates into criminal penalties for those who do see a need. I think it is a desire...

    gh1950: Quote the post(s) in which you claim Mrs. Esterhouse claimed Georgia law permits him to shoot a fleeing misdemeanant.

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    Guess what? Everything you stated is true for a police officer attempting to arrest in the same circumstance. I suppose it is useless to have police officers, then? There is not much a police officer can do unless they can run him down and physically subdue him. OF COURSE you cannot use...

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    You either have not read the law in Georgia, or you do not understand it. Please stop posting false things about the law in Georgia.

    Gov. Kemp says repeal citizens arrest law

    What? He did not arrest him. He gave him a hug and released him. Did you even read the article before posting the link?
