HB 472 - Republican Gun Control Bill © 2025 Phillip Evans

With the submission and fast-track of HB 472, certain Georgia Republicans are partnering with Democrats to turn-back hard-won victories for the right of citizens to carry firearms in public for the protection of themselves and their families, by creating an additional place (besides the numerous ones already in existence) to be a crime if going to while armed with a self-defense pistol.

This bill is set to be heard in Committee Feb. 26th, 2025.

It would make it a crime to be armed inside a fenced-in area at the Georgia World Congress Center. Now keep in mind that outdoor events there for years have occurred without incidence, even though lawfully armed carriers have worn their self-defense handguns while in attendance.

Why would I want to go there anyway.. no sarcasm

You wouldn't unless you needed to attend a trade show, etc. The problem is the Georgia World Congress Center is the trial balloon for future gun ban locations. If the GWCC ban gets passed, there will be a bevy of new banned locations in the next legislative session. We need to communicate a resounding NO to these clowns.

If anyone here lives in the bill sponsor districts, please contact them and tell them NO on HB 472.

Sample copy/paste letter you can use:


Dear Representative:

HB 472 would allow cities and the World Congress Center to ban firearms on their property.

By allowing this bill to pass, the House will be assisting in providing a work around the GA Supreme court ruling in GeorgiaCarry vs. Botanical Gardens.

I urge you to vote against allowing this bill to go to the floor for consideration as it will endanger citizen's lives and prevent the exercise of an individual's Second Amendment Rights.

Thank you for your service to the State of GA and your constituents.

Sincerely,
{Your name}

This part made me LOL.
Thanks needed a good chuckle. I know it’s meant to be a serious post and link. But..

“If someone is caught armed for their protection at the Georgia World Congress Center inside the fenced area, here's what will happen:

They will be roughly arrested and separated from their spouse and children, taken to jail, have their rectum and other orifices rudely probed, and cast into a cell with violent criminals.”
