I highly doubt it. We got wanded at Georgia Tech, yesterday. The Dome is going to be super strict. With the amount of police presence and the amount of people that will be at that game, you should be fine.
You could always try to carry a blade or small canister of pepper spray, albeit one that you aren't afraid to get taken away. MARTA goes right to the Dome. You will be fine. I think that you will find that Atlanta is not near the dangerous hell hole that most people make it out to be. Have a great time and ask us, if you are looking for good places to get fat and happy. |

Thanks guys. My real concern is the walk from the hotel to the MARTA station. Looks to be a few blocks. I understand Atlanta isn't a third world country or anything, but I take my wife's safety seriously. Me alone, hell, I'll fight or run or whatever.
I would appreciate some eating places as well. We are coming on Friday early afternoon and staying until Sunday morning. |

Yes and no. It isn't specially illegal to carry at the GA Dome anymore; however, it falls under the definition of a government building, and if they establish screening under the law, they can prohibit firearms in the building.
As you mentioned being military, GA law allows members of the military to carry anywhere a peace officer can carry.
I don't know what will be in place at the SEC game, but the Falcons prohibit firearms per NFL rules, and this includes off duty officers. In one of the NFL cities there is a legal challenge over this , but I am not aware of its current status. |

The safest time to ride Marta is when the sec game, super cross, monster truck or country concert is going on where you're going. There is several new brew houses right near the aquarium. If you take uber hit up 6 feet under on 11th street. Get the scallop tacos. They're not on the menu, you'll have to ask for them.

Someone is going to have to explain this über thing to me. I've seen snippets of it. I live in rural MS so it's not common around here I imagine. I don't hang out in big cities without a car when I'm TDY. So some tips would be appreciated.

Thanks It's basically a freelance taxi service, which of course has the existing taxi industry and regulatory bodies annoyed. The drivers are "independent contractors" driving their own cars and frequently have other jobs and do it as a sideline. |
