This afternoon, two bills, HB 35, regarding administrators possessing firearms in schools, and HB 60, which adds retired judges to the list of people exempt from Georgia's firearms carry laws, were heard in the Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. The committee easily passed HB 60, in spite of opposition voiced by GeorgiaCarry.Org to adding "more 'special people' to the exemption list" with civil rights denied to the populace at large. The arguments from committee members in general were that retired judges may have developed enemies over the years and needed the exemption. A woman with a violent stalker, however, is denied the same exemption that the committee passed today, in spite of also being in far more danger than a retired judge.

Passing laws to make themselves above the general population. They are clearly better than the rest of us..

Nothing changes until we replace them all! Herman says it best. Why do we send like 90% back when the approval rating is in the toilet? Vote for the new guy!

Well, this is just a Committee Hearing and then more discussion in a sub-committee. So it could end up on the cutting floor, or once people get their heads around the Laws that already exist, the House may not pass it.

Make sure you politely let your Legislator know how you feel about the proposed changes.
