Existing law allows armed principals

By John Monroe

In addition to existing avenues for school officials to authorize anyone to carry firearms at schools, existing law also permits those with weapons carry licenses to carry firearms in schools under certain circumstances, without the knowledge or consent of school officials. Under O.C.G.A. 16-11-127.1(c)(7), a person with a license may carry a firearm in a school “when such person carries or picks up a student.” Licensees also may have firearms in their cars in school parking lots. Many parents take advantage of these provisions today on a regular basis when they take their children to and from school.

John is a good man. Very informed, and a wealth of knowledge regarding GA gun laws. He is helping me obtain my GCP. We will go to S. court in a few months!!

I love listening to John, he could read the phonebook and I'd learn something.

Now the counter article by an ANTI said there hasn't been a campus shooting in GA since 1999....how timely. This was in the AJC just a week before the shooting at the middle school in Atlanta.
