Georgia Campus Carry

I`m very pro 2nd amendment. I support campus carry;however,I see why some folks cringe at college students being in possession of a firearm. Look at the students Jesse Watters interviews on Fox. They ain`t got a clue(some of them). These clowns protest and don`t know what they are protesting about. They know nothing about every question they are asked. When you enter college,do you take a 'stupid' pill? I didn`t.

Those aren't the students who want to carry on campus. It's students like me who have done four years of school in 2 and change with high honors. It's students like me, former marines, and so forth. That's who bothers to get a permit and train. Not the dickheads on Waters World.
 
Deal says he wants changes, Speaker Ralston says it doesn't need changes, looks like Deal is lining up another veto.

They made the changes he said he was "uncomfortable with" and wanted but the goal post gets posted farther back as the Georgia State Board of Regents hates this insult of restoration of personal rights. It infringes upon their absolute power to disarm the citizen.

He is serving the leadership of the college system, who directly benefit from Georgia's lotto system that funds the Hope scholarship, without it they would hurt. They in turn make it worth Deal's effort to support them. It's a parasitical symbiotic relationship.
 
Did anyone not see this coming? This route is obviously blocked by tyrants. We have to have a back up, which judging from past sessions, may be a real hope. I'm hoping there is an ace up a sleeve somewhere and all this is a distraction.

It will be nice one day when there can be straight forward progress, none of this backdoor stuff and excuses from a select few like we have now.
 
Now it's time to lobby our Georgia state senators to pass H.B. 280.
Even if the Governor might veto it.
It's a good law that takes a few steps down the road toward full campus carry / school carry.
I lobbied for this law in the House, and now it's time to make our support for this bill known in the Senate.

If you don't know who YOUR state Representative and Senator are, or what House and Senate districts you are in, just go to this link and type in your address (or ANY address in your neighborhood!) and it will tell you who these people are.

My two reps are Democrap/Socialist and any logically discussion that refutes their and their party's misconception and "feelings" that armed citizens are a threat to a free Republic and represent a "public safety" rather than a force multiplier and benefit to crime deterrence with a measure of increased public safety.

That said, other states have the option to override a veto of a standing governor.

Why doesn't Georgia?

Georgia does have the option to override a veto.

The problem is that the process is so convoluted that it is impractical to do so.

It starts with the fact that on "controversial" bills, the governor waits until the legislative session is over (Mar. 30 this year). The governor COULD act on the bill before the end of the session, but why should he.

Vetoing the bill after the session kicks it over to the next year's session, and it has to be like the first order of business that the legislature takes up.

Plus there is a long tradition of legislators not wanting to publicly cross the governor.

That's why the Ga. system is designed to provide cover for everyone. The pols can be a little bit of everything to every one.

It is possible for the legislature to pass a bill in the first days of the session which would force the governor to act on the bill during the session. Historically, only feel good bills are passed in this period. In the "you scratch my back" world of Georgia politics, the legislature doesn't want to go out of it's way to put the governor on the spot, because then they would be on the spot for having to vote on a veto.

Plus, I think there are still enough Democrats to prevent a veto override, (don't hold me to that) which raises the paradoxical situation of our Republican, 2nd Amendment loving governor having to rely on the Democrats to sustain his veto.
