Georgia will have Reciprocity with Virginia on July 1st, 2016 this coming Friday.

http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_Reciprocity.shtm

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2016

The holder of a valid concealed handgun or concealed weapon permit or license issued by another state may carry a concealed handgun in Virginia provided:

• the holder of such permit or license is at least 21 years of age; and
• the permit or license holder carries a photo identification issued by a government agency of any state or by the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S. Department of State; and
• the holder displays the permit or license and such identification upon demand by a law-enforcement officer; and
• the permit or license holder has not previously had a Virginia concealed handgun permit revoked.

The legislation also provides that the Virginia State Police in conjunction with the Office of the Attorney General will work with the various jurisdictions to secure reciprocal privileges for Virginia citizens desiring to carry concealed in other states.

Although the new law will require Virginia to grant recognition to all states that issue permits, those states may not authorize Virginia permit holders to possess a firearm in their state. You will need to contact each state to determine if they will recognize your Virginia permit.

No, you cannot take portions of the law and use it as you see fit. This only pertains to states that are on their reprocity lists. Follow the above link and there is a whole section above that also pertains. Carry in VA and you will be arrested.
