A: No! Georgia law provides that possessing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school is a felony, punishable by up to ten years in prison. There are numerous exceptions, however, and the most relevant are: A person with a firearms license may carry a firearm while dropping off or picking up a student. Off of the actual school property, a non-student may possess a firearm while in a vehicle in transit through the school zone, and any person residing in a school zone or conducting lawful business in a school zone (not on school property) may possess a firearm. In addition, teachers and other school personnel may keep a firearm locked in a locking compartment of a motor vehicle while parked on campus.
A school in Georgia includes public and private schools, colleges, and technical schools.

I bolded the part that seems relevant to you, and would suggest that with this as a starting point you go look up the Georgia laws directly for yourself. You might also want to speak to a lawyer to be sure you understand the rules.
Georgia laws are online at http://www.law.cornell.edu/states/georgia.html#codes, http://www.lexis-nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/default.asp, and http://www.georgia.gov/00/channel_ti...2_5031,00.html
