Georgia House Bill 615
For those Georgia citizens who are interested:
Georgia House Bill 615 addresses certain issues regarding what, where and how a weapon (not just handguns) may be carried, and how it may be carried. As reported by www.examiner.com: "HB 615 has picked up steam. It currently has 40 cosponsors in the House and is set for a committee hearing next week. HB 615 is assigned to the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee. The calendar shows that HB 615 is scheduled for a hearing on January 7, 2010 in Room 132CAP from 9:30 to 12:30. Those people interested in the bill should probably plan to attend." For the text of the bill this link should bring up a .pdf version. http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2.../pdf/hb615.pdf I plan on contacting my representative to urge his support.

Looks interesting.
The way I understand it this bill allows me to OC without a license, correct? Anything else it does that I didn't pick up on? That legal mumbo jumbo is tough to wrap your head around.

The most important content of this bill is Section 5 and Section 6. When Roy Barnes was governor, he railroaded through the "Emergency Confiscation" bill. Such laws are a recipe for getting people, most likely cops, killed.

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.
Worth following, though.

Great for Georgia, too bad I am in NYS...I hope it passes. It would be nice to see a bit of common sense applied in our favor concerning firearm laws
