HB 26 - Georgia Constitutional Carry Act of 2013

[Pebabom]

Hey everyone, new poster here. I saw this on GeorgiaPacking, and I thought you all would be interested.
HB-26 would get rid of the licensing requirement for GA residents to carry openly or concealed. Essentially, if you aren't prohibited from possessing a firearm, then you can carry however you please. I also assume that this would allow 18-20 YO such as myself to carry as well. I think 4 states have already passed similar legislation.

Here's the link to the house page:

Your thoughts?

Outstanding. Spoke with my rep, and senator last year about this.

Hope everyone will make a call, and send an email.

Go Georgia. I dont know how the CCW thing ever happened anyway. Sounds plain enough on the big paper that you have the right to keep and bear arms...You need a license to practice Constitutional rights?

Read a great write up on where our draconian laws came from a while back. I look forward to our beloved state getting back to following The Constitution.

You remember what it was? I like paper literature so I can read it in the other office.

Print it on soft paper.. We don't want any unfortunate "reading" accidents.

Would this affect the laws of having to be 21 to own and carry a handgun, or only long guns
