Oh. BS. Look up the word enumerated. The rights were enumerated in the Constitution. That affirmation is the government law that I originally referred to, not the DOI.I'm just going to assume you have never taken an undergraduate level Civics/American Government/Law class and just agree to disagree with you.

While I agree in principle that GA is now finally getting to be on par with many 2A states (I won't speak ill of the dead), the whole "force of law for signs" things is always an odd burr to me. This comes up in regards to TN I think as well TX is a huge property rights state. Given their history, makes sense. There is very little "public" (taxpayer bought) land in TX, compared to GA. A lot of large ranches obviously. Property rights tend to trump all. Heck you can retain mineral rights in perpetuity. It follows that private businesses can dictate what they want on their properties. Zero issue with that personally. So in Georgia, the owner has to tell you to leave. In Texas, that conversation is saved, if the property owner chooses.I always laugh when people say states like FL and TX are the most gun friendly. We are actually well ahead of both of them in most cases here in GA if you look at the big picture.
For instance TX still has the ridiculous "30-06" rules that put the force of law behind 'no guns' signs. And if you want a binary trigger in FL, forget it. They have a law that bans things that can increase your rate of fire.
They may both get to be as good as GA eventually, but we have some of the best gun laws in the US right now.

WADR, your 'God-given right' doesn't supersede my right feel comfortable
Apparently not. Very strange....This is like civics 101 stuff......

Anecdotal observation. I've seen a LOT more people carrying in TX than Georgia. I was at a large convention recently (in TX) and I would characterize the attendees as not 2A friendly "IF" I was going to stereotype (music and academia). I removed my jacket and unknowingly exposed my carry gun in the process. Walked around for I don't know how long before realizing it. No one batted an eye. I can't swear there was a sign posted but given the venue, I suspect there was. Point being, how 2A friendly a state is, depends on how 2A friendly it actually is.
Restrictions on public land are a problem. Private, is a double edge sword. Unfortunately, conservative beliefs tend to always get the wrong side of that sword.
But that's the thing. You are not inviting "the general public". You are inviting just those who are willing to abide by your rules as the property owner. "No shirt, no shoes, no service". I personally appreciate businesses being clear about their prejudices. It allows me to know who to avoid. And I'm not saying that as some lame internet chest thumping. I'm being genuine. I try and spend my money on businesses that support my values, and avoid those that don't. Signage makes it much easier. But then again, I'm in the "you should be able to deny anyone service for any reason, or no reason" camp. I personally would never "bake that cake".You are specifically inviting the general public in for those kinds of facilities.
Overall, TX isn't a 'bad' gun state, I definitely agree with you there. In fact it's one of the better ones. But it's not the be-all, end-all that people seem to think.
Concealed means concealed.Your GWL has no reciprocity in those states. If you conceal carried in those states you were breaking the law. Check my comment edit with the map. It's almost truly worthless. It's like a six flags, FFL-fast pass, lmao.
