HB 309 red flag legislation.

This is why I support GA Carry and firmly believe GGO is a pure scam.

I got that hysterical email from them about this bill. I also got an email from GA Carry outlining ALL the bills filed for this next session, including a short explanation and how GA Carry (which has some weight in the legislature) intends to push (for/against).

If you are going to call you state reps (and you should) be sure to make your position clear on ALL teh bills involved, not just the one GGO is using to fund raise.
