It's good to see the anti-confiscation clause (which was stricken from a similar bill last year) brought back.

A few procedural concerns spring to mind, though.
  • Sonny Perdue has gone on record saying he won't sign anything allowing carry in churches, so that may get the ax.
  • Casey Cagle was...less than enthusiastic about revisiting gun-related issues at the beginning of last year's session. Has he thawed at all?
  • Some of the political fallout from last year ended up with the Brady Campaign getting involved and retroactively gutting one portion of bill. They're having a bad year, and they may decide to get involved again.
  • University faculty and alumni are going to be unhappy with the idea of campus carry, and they've got money and clout.
  • Folks will do their best to confuse college campus carry with carry on elementary school playgrounds. This isn't a matter of correcting a misconception: people will deliberately obfuscate the issue. Consider the main source of print media for metro Atlanta.

Worth following, though.
