GeorgiaCarry.Org Gets Carroll County To Remove Firearms From Emergency Ordinance

[StringBeans03]

Cobb County:
Additional emergency powers. The chairman of the board of commissioners shall have and may exercise for such period as the declared emergency exists or continues, the following additional emergency powers:

3. To suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives and flammable liquids and substances;

Does this mean that Cobb can suspend firearms sales in the case of an emegency?

Paulding County's says the same thing...must be a form that is submitted to them and they just sign off on it.

Troup doesn't have that language in the emergency management codes. They do, however, have this:

Sec. 6-363. - Prohibited acts.

No licensee shall authorize or permit any patron or customer to bring onto the premises one or more alcoholic beverages purchased elsewhere, nor shall any such licensee authorize or permit any patron or customer to take out of the premises one or more alcoholic beverages. No licensee shall authorize or permit any patron or customer to bring or carry any deadly weapon or firearm on the premises except a law enforcement officer or other person authorized by federal or state law to bring or carry any deadly weapon or firearm on the premises, nor shall the licensee act as a keeper, bailee or custodian of any kind of deadly weapon or firearm for any customer or patron.

Under the sale of malt beverages section. It dates from 2009 and I think it was superceded by the enactment of SB308 which removes bars from prohibited places.

(6) In a bar, unless the owner of the bar permits the carrying of weapons or long guns by license holders;

I think I need to compose a letter to the city council.

Yes the ACCG put out these boilerplates back in the day. Also look out for the one that allows them to "seize" private property and "sell, lend, give, or redistribute it to other county inhabitants."

Just another reason why every gun owner in ga should be a GCO member. Real changes to legislation that directly impacts us!

Number 3 still bans flammable liquids. Isn't gasoline a "Flammable Liquid?"

Send a polite email to the commissioners Sec. asking if she can send you the emergency management ordinance. See if it lines up with the one online.

An amendment to remove a reference to firearms from Carroll County’s disaster and emergency ordinance was passed by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday without discussion.

GeorgiaCarry.org has filed legal court cases against similar ordinances in other locations and has been successful in many cases of getting the laws removed, according to the organization’s website. The group has also asked the city of Carrollton to remove firearms as one of the prohibited items from the GreenBelt trail, but the city hasn’t yet acted on the request. The February city council meeting, which would have been held Monday, was canceled.

Man, we have to fight the fed, state and local level infringements.

They just won't quit messing with our rights will they?

Comanche I think you should visit the next Cumming City Council Meeting:

To enforce all rules, laws and regulations relating to emergency management/civil defense and to assume direct operational control over all emergency resources;

(2)
To seize or take for temporary use, or condemn property for the protection of the public;
