Wow, while some of us are fighting for the right to just carry a gun, other states are fighting whether or not to allow guns in church or allow suppressed guns....talki about your "high quality problems".

Were you saying "the west coast is the Best coast"?

Georgia is coming along. They still have a ways to go before I would call Georgia a "gun friendly" state. Not when you compare to say, Mississippi, where they recently passed Open Carry, allow all licensed class 3 devices, have no caliber restrictions on deer rifles, allow single shot 45-70s during muzzleloader season...

and where the Ole Miss Campus Police told me to keep my shotgun in my dorm room overnight so I wouldn't have to check it out at 5 am to go hunting.

I wasn't referring to 2A support....meant more towards the weather and amenities. And it not only refers to California, but to Oregon and Washington. I was not impressed with the Georgia coastline when I lived there, no offense to Georgians!

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but in Georgia, can't you just walk into a LGS buy a handgun and get permission to carry it all in about the span of 5-10 minutes? That's what my buddy in Griffin told me recently.

I'd say that's pretty gun friendly if you ask me.

When you guys have a roster from which you are allowed to buy from, then wait 10 days to pick up your gun after paying for it, , allowed to only buy 1 new pistol or rifle every 30 days and if you apply for your CCW you have to wait months, if not over a year or more to maybe get approved for your conceal carry permit, come talk to me.

In Florida, it only takes ten minutes if there are 2 people ahead of you or the clerk had to take a leak

Oh, you can buy a gun, long or shot, even without a permit and take it home that day. You can't carry it however, except in your car. It takes anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months to get the permit.

You can't wear the gun openly or concealed without a permit and in some jurisdictions you will get hassled by LE for wearing it WITH a permit ("It's SCARING people").

Atlanta is the worst. Full of Yuppies and Metrosexuals that freak out at the sight of a gun.

But on the other hand, there is Kennesaw Georgia, where by law you MUST own a gun!

Thank you Dr. for the clarification. I was only going off the what I was told from my buddy in Griffin.

[DrHenley]

If it weren't for Atlanta ("the city that ate Georgia"), Georgia might be right up there with the most gun friendly states.

Georgia has been making a lot of progress in the gun rights department lately though.

This is Good News, Especially since Mark Kelly & Gabby Giffords Dumb Anti-Gun Group were determined THEY would defeat this bill.
I knew they would fail.What's up with Kelly anyway. Navy Captain and Anti-Gun?
Reckon He & Her just want the Money & Power?
