Open carry long gun in Georgia

[dixieman]

To legally open carry a long gun in Georgia does the barrel need to be 18 inches long? I have an AR-15 that is legally 16 inches, can I carry that openly in Georgia? I do have a carry permit

You can legally open carry an AR with a standard 16 inch barrel. I'm not sure why you would, but you can.

Don't do it, just if you can, without a real reason, it just hurts the 2nd Adm. pro gun folks and their cause, and don't necessarily make anyone look like they are a badass, just the opposite, like I said unless there is a real reason. Like that DA that open carried his AR at the airport that set us back years just so he could "exercise" or in my opinion, abuse his rights. When SHTF, we'll all open carry since there will be a real reason, but not just cause can, cause we need or have to, permits or not.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

Interesting question. I had never noticed that discrepancy before. Of course it's not always a good idea to do this but legally speaking it does say a long gun is over 18" barrel.
