Why not just get a GWL and be done with it? A lot of these questions would never be asked if you get the license. Remember you can't carry a gun concealed or open if you are disqualified from owning one or can't get a GWL no matter where you are. A motor vehicle is NOT an extension of your home, that is bad information that is repeated over and over again by the unknowing. COE expressly prohibits firearms on it's land, even in a motor vehicle and they are in control of most lakes in Georgia. I know a lot of guys carry in their boats with no problem, but all it takes is having them search your boat one time while carrying at the wrong place and your right to carry may be severely curtailed in the future. Arm chair lawyers will tell you that you aren't carrying on COE land while in your boat, but unless your boat flew there you were on COE land with a weapon and will be again if you leave the water to go home with your boat. I think the COE regulation is stupid, but I obey it because I don't want to deal with a Federal firearms charge.
