No License for Concealed Carry!

[OttoMan]

I really didn’t know about this.

“It is now legal for you to carry a concealed gun without a permit in the state of Georgia.

Gov. Brian Kemp signed that bill into law Tuesday afternoon, even though recent polls show this law may not be popular across Georgia.

“I’ll tell you what my wife always tells me. They haven’t called me yet to ask my opinion,” is what Kemp’s answer was to the polls, just minutes after signing the controversial “Constitutional Carry” bill into law.”

Governor signs bill into law allowing Georgians to carry guns without permits

Once signed, the new law would still require federal background checks on gun sales through licensed gun dealers.

I thought the new law was just for “open carry”….

Yep I had mine renewed for weapons purchases...With it no fee or wait while running a check, saves time

Yep, it happened. I'm keeping my permit in place so I can carry outside GA without issues and bypass the back ground checks at the LGS. Const. Carry isn't that great if all States around you don't allow it.

I really can’t believe that people on a gun forum are criticising a law that gives back a constitutional right…..wow!

I make frequent trips to Florida. Gotta have a permit down there. I renewed mine after the law here took effect just for that purpose…

I didn’t see anyone criticizing the law Sir.
I am surprised.
Constitutional carry, which I agree, open carry, is one thing.
Now, ALL the bad boys that wants to steal and invade your house are protected by the same law as well.
I came to know about this, because a guy that I know, which has a not so good past, was carrying a concealed; I told him he couldn’t and he said “You’re behind with the news, Governor has signed into law that ANYBODY can carry concealed now.”

I was referring to the statement made by another member that it “isn’t all that great”. That’s in my opinion like saying why bother pass good laws if not everyone is passing good laws, just a defeated Eeyore type mind set instead recognising how much progress it is from have to ask big brother. Maybe I misunderstood the post though.
