Is it legal for my father-in-law, or his employees (with his permission), to carry a firearm on their person in his doctors office, without a GWL? Kind of like the carry in your car part.

seems to me like it should be fine, if its his business thats his property right?
Well he leases it, but yes his name is on the door.
I'm almost positive the answer is yes but I am curious as to if that's just me being sure of my opinion again. Opinion/fact what's the difference really?

Yes
It is the very first section of OCGA that concerns carry laws.

Is he worried about the patients that are pissed about the long wait ?
Castle doctrine extends from your home, to auto, to your own business if you own it or have permission.
Getting your GWL isn't a big deal and I would highly recommend it….. have him take a look at gacarry.org.
js415 is right.
You don't need permission from your boss, owner, or whomever to carry at your place of business legally without a GWCL.
If it is your place of business (where you work), and you can legally own a gun, then you can carry on your person without obtaining permission from anyone. But, if caught.................then you could lose your job.
Miller v. State 12 Ga. App. 479, 77 S. E. 653 1913 "Place of Business" includes an employee of that business.
Idellett v. State 14 Ga. App. 501 1914 Employees have every bit as much right to carry at work as employers without procuring a license, as it was not the intent of the General Assembly to create an elite class of landed proprietors with the privilege of bearing arms. Therefore, the exemption from the licensing law for "place of business" is not limited to owners or overseers. Further, at a farm, a laborer's "place of business" includes, in addition to the buildings, the field, woodland, and meadow, and all parts of the farm.

Valid point. Can't speak to GA, but in most states, if the lessee agree's to the leasor's terms and if violated, you're out.
