GeorgiaCarry Gets Lots of Exposure in GPB News Article About Gun Bill

[mountainpass]

I still detest the idea that county commissioners all the sudden are going to have to put in security. The criminals carrying in those buildings now don't bother them, but let a law-abider carry in there......police state!

Jerry Henry is with GeorgiaCarry.org, the lead group that lobbied state lawmakers to pass the gun bill. He said his group will continue to push for that provision. And that’s because licensed gun owners want to see uniform rules for carrying firearms on private property.

“We don’t want to have to guess if it’s legal or illegal to bring a gun somewhere,” he said. “There are still lots of ‘gotcha’ places in the law.”

As for lobbying next year for the campus carry provision, that’s part and parcel of GeorgiaCarry’s mission.

“We ask for what we want, we take what we can get, and we come back for more,” Henry said. “Six to eight years ago, there were very few places you carry a gun in Georgia.”

With Henry’s help, that’s changed. Under the new bill, schools would have the option of deciding if teachers or administrators should be armed. The state would have to report within 10 days Georgians’ involuntary commitments to hospitals.
