***Edit*** Who Has The Georgia Code On School Carry?

[User170512]

Talking to a friend at a GA K-12 private school about the current concealed carry laws. What all is required after the recent law changes?

Specific question: What school board/head clearances/allowances are needed for an employee of the school to be legally allowed carry on campus. Specifically in a concealed security role.

This is the actual code section (2022 version) and provides that you may possess a weapon during certain times, or if you are a certain person. It also does not discriminate license holders and laymen, just says lawful possessor. OCGA 16-11-127.1

You sure about that?

Basically you cannot carry a weapon inside the school. However you can have weapons in your vehicle when you pick up your student, but it cannot leave your car.

There are rare exceptions, such as organized shooting events and LEO. But in general the above is correct.

GAgunLAWbooklet you got anything? Seems like you used to need approval on the gun model/caliber/serial you carried. Feel like new law was passed last year?

 

[CQB27]

A non- prohibited/lawful weapons carrier CAN carry a weapon into a school safety zone to pickup or drop off a student, including inside the school building if the school requires entering the build to sign out a student. It’s been that way for years for a permit holder and now applies to non-prohibited persons as well, nothing new.


416-11-127.1(c)(7)
c. The provisions of this Code section shall not apply to:
7. “A lawful weapons carrier when such person carries or picks up a student within a school safety zone, at a school function, or on a bus or other transportation furnished by a school or a lawful weapons carrier when he or she has any weapon legally kept within a vehicle when such vehicle is parked within a school safety zone or is in transit through a designated school safety zone”
