I keep seeing laws but I'm not exactly sure what the deal is or code section that applies to me. Would an apprenticeship school be illegal to carry at in the vehicle? Any code sections?
Vehicle carry at vocational school?

You've already been in the thread Inkdaddy began regarding SB 308. If you read far enough down, there is a section dealing with what's allowed on campuses. That's the best source I know. What Seabaugh and his co-sponsors were trying to do in that bill was simplify and clearly lay out as unambiguously as possible where a firearm could be carried. They wanted it to be easier for us lay folks to understand...Hope that helps....
Not sure if your "vocational school" follows the same rules as [FONT=&]Technical College System of Georgia[/FONT] but a question was asked on georgiapacking.org about having a gun in the car while at Middle Georgia Technical College and was referred to https://tcsg.edu/tcsgpolicy/docs/Firear ... licy_2.doc

Yeah, I went through that whole 'locked in a container' deal with some members on GA Packing. I believe most were saying that just being in a locked vehicle was good enough, but I DID NOT see it that way. To me it reads: the gun needs to be locked in a 'container/glove box within the locked vehicle. Who is right? I don't know for sure.

The way I read it, you can store it out of sight in a locked compartment inside the car and not necessarily lock the car or you can lock it up by locking the car.
I was trying to clarify this for my wife.
Guys GCO got the law changed in 2010 with SB308.
You can have a firearm in your vehicle if you own the vehicle, AND have a GWL.

You are not required to have a GWL to carry a firearm in your vehicle in GA. I didn't realize there was an exception for college campuses.
Apparently, there is...http://benttreenews.org/2010/news/sb-308-changes-gun-restrictions-on-campus/

Yes the college campus was off limits before SB308. Now you can have one in your vehicle on campus if you own the vehicle.
Edit: ...and have a GWL
GCO got the law changed in 2008 with HB89 so that you can have a firearm in you vehicle without a GWL anywhere in the vehicle. You were still forbidden in a few locations.
