Georgia Weapons Carry License Renewal

[hdgapeach]

Cool thing in my County (Heard) is the Probate Judge will send me a notice of pending expiration a few weeks prior to the deadline date. Nice little perk in my opinion.

Did you have to get fingerprinted?

Did you have to get fingerprinted?

Only the first time.

No fingerprints required if you are renewing. Fingerprints are required for a new license or if your current license is expired over 30 days.

I have lived in Hall County all of my life and have had a Carry Permit every since I turned 21. The first Carry Permit was obtained from the County Ordinary, now called the Probate Judge. The process then was that the license was for a single pistol and it to be carried open. You had to carry the pistol to the Ordinary’s office where they got the serial number, caliber and make of the gun for the license. You also had to have someone sign a bond for you. I forget where it was for $500 or $1000. That was the process then. I forget how long the license was good for seems like it was 2 years. A lot of difference now and then.

I'm just so glad that we have to ask permission to exercise our natural right to self defense.

it's just another way of taxing humans that try to act responsibly. Thugs don't have to pay the tax......they are thugs.

Going to renew mine for Cherokee today. Fingers crossed all goes smoothly and timely as well.

Didn’t realize mine was expired for several months, had to go through the entire process again. Other than that, which is my fault, Paulding Co was very smooth and friendly.
