I have had a carry permit for years and have been trying to get my wife to get hers too so she could take her G19 with her when she goes out for errands. Well long story short is that due to recent incidents in and around our county, my wife is thinking of finally getting her carry permit. Mainly to keep her G19 with her in the truck when she is out by herself.
Her biggest issue with getting her permit is that she is worried about having her pistol with her in the truck when she picks up the kids from school. I have read (HB 60 section 1-6) about Weapons on school property, transportation and functions and it appears as long as she has her weapons carry permit she is good to go when parking in the school parking lot in the car riders line to pick up and drop off our kids. So am I reading it right that anyone with a Weapons carry permit is good to go sitting in their car on school property waiting to pick up their kids? Thanks |

So am I reading it right that anyone with a Weapons carry permit is good to go sitting in their car on school property waiting to pick up their kids? Thanks also iirc the language refers specifically to pickup and dropoff not to other activities such as going to a pto meeting or volunteering. however you shoyld be able to store locked in the vehicle in those circumstances. ETA: here i found the exact law quote from GA packing Weapons on school property, transportation and functions: (Please read the special note below about this definition) It is unlawful for a person to carry ANY type of weapon onto any real property (real estate... land or buildings) owned by or leased to any public or private elementary school, secondary school, or school board and used for elementary or secondary education, any public or private technical school, vocational school, college, university, or institution of post secondary education. This code section does not apply to persons who have a valid Weapons Carry license (formerly the Georgia Firearms License) when such person has a weapon in the vehicle which is parked or [color=#ff0000]in transit through the property or when the license holder carries or picks up a student[/color] at a school building, school function, or school property or on a bus or other transportation furnished by the school. Commentary from GA Packing : (I'm not sure of the total legality actually carrying into a school building while picking up or dropping off a student, but it appears to be completely legal since the code does not say anything about not being allowed to enter the building while carrying. I wouldn't loiter around in the halls or cafeteria, but instead make a straight bee line to the office and back in order to drop off or pick up a student if you are required to do so.) This code section shall not apply to Teachers and other school personnel who are otherwise authorized to possess or carry weapons, provided that any such weapon is in a locked compartment of a motor vehicle or one which is in a locked container in or a locked firearms rack which is on a motor vehicle. (note that while you have the ability to park your car on the property (you can leave the weapon inside the car while you go somewhere else) and carry while picking up or dropping off students, outside of that you cannot carry on school property even if you have a license. If you park your car and get out with the weapon still on your person and you do not meet one of the carry exceptions (such as dropping off or picking up a student), you are breaking the law. Be careful!) |

So I'm doing some research for a work project...what's the deal with the state's definition for machine gun?
OCGA 16-11-121 (2) ''machine gun'' means any weapon which shoots or is designed to shoot, automatically, more than six shots, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. so...why six shots? what's up with this? Thanks |

What is the penalty if caught carrying with an expired license? I'm currently in the process of retiring and moving to Idaho. I was in Idaho in October and got an Idaho drivers license. In the mean time I've realized my GA weapons permit expires the day after Christmas. I went to my courthouse today to renew but I'm being told that I must have a GA drivers license or State ID to renew. So, if my permit expires and some how I'm caught carrying with an expired permit what could happen?

Go to the probate court in the county in which you reside. They'll take care of you. You'll need to get fingerprinted, usually at the sheriff's office, and pay the probate court about $75-$80 (varies by county). No need for any class, or declaring what firearm you intend to carry, or providing a reason to get your Georgia Weapons Carry License. It's a straightforward and easy process.

The various courts around Georgia tend not to like cash. Here in Morgan County they won't accept cash, but will take a debit or credit card. However, there is an additional fee to use a card. It's probably best for you to call your probate court and see how they choose to operate. Even though it's a state permit, each county can vary the way they do business, just a little, on the fees and the collecting of $$$.

Here's a law school exam type question. Lived in Florida with a FL Resident CCW and still have a family residence I visit down there occasionally. Moved to GA, declared domicile for my property and got a GA driver's license. Applied for a GA CCW. Before getting the GA CCW, was it legal to carry on my FL CCW? Reading the law, it would appear that GA would not recognize my FL CCW if I am resident in GA. The law doesn't seem to account for the fact you can be a resident of more than one state but have domicile in only one. More curious if I understand the law and how it applies than concerned with a legal violation. Thanks.

Reading Georgia gun laws, and definitions, there is no definition for a weapon, firearm, rifle or long gun which accounts for a barrel more than 12" or less than 18". Where does the 14.5-16" AR fit in the definitions? Additionally, a handgun is defined as a firearm with a barrel less than 12" but does not reference the existence or non-existence of a stock. Does this mean that an SBR would come under the definition of a handgun for GA carry purposes? If so, does that mean the SBR can be concealed carry while loaded (which would be a violation if it was considered a long gun under GA law)?

If I were to build an AR15 "Pistol" with a KAK Tube & brace. With a BCM 11.5" upper the OAL would be somewhere between 29"-30". This is technically a pistol still because it has a barrel less than 12" but it also has an overall length greater than 26".
So my question is...

Question that wasn't clear on from the legalese, and since I regularly travel to Georgia I better know to avoid getting in legal trouble:
In South Carolina - a firearm can be kept in a compartment (unlocked glove compartment, etc.) with no problems, even by someone without a CWP. I know from watching COPS that this is a major no-no through most of the US. I assume that a no-can-do for GA as well? From the reading of the pasted documents it sounds as though a gun in the glove compartment would be legal if the glove compartment is locked? |

I just moved to GA, and went to the Houston county probate court to inquire about CCW/HGL. Found out from the clerk, that my TX CCW license is valid even though I am changing my drivers license to GA.
So I guess I can carry the TX CCW card even with the GA DL.. |

Well I took a job and looks like I'll be moving to Newnan early next year. Coming with FL CWP, NFA items and Night Vision.
Looks like ill get a DL and CW permit soon enough. So with a permit, open or CC, of a handgun is ok. What about Open/CC of silencers? I have a maxim9 that holsters suprisingly well. Silencers are ok for hunting (hogs/coyotes if I get the chance), lights are ok at night. what about NV and IR lights/lasers? Handguns seem to be fine in cars no matter what. Rifles ok? sometimes toss mine in the back of the car or in the front seat. |

View Quote It is not even legal to carry a pistol openly here without a license, and you are asking whether it is likely that soon they will remove the license requirement for both carrying openly AND secretly? GCO worked on getting rid of the license for carrying openly for years early on - it was a NO GO. It never even made it into an actual submitted bill, if I recall correctly. The politicians always fearfully took it out before dropping the bill. So, no, what you call "constitutional carry" (stupid name for carrying concealed without a license) is not likely anytime soon in Georgia. When you get here, work hard on getting rid of the license for carrying openly, to make Georgia like a majority of states in the US. Then you have done step one. Maybe, after you accomplish that, you will have a chance at step two. It is horrible political lobbying to just rush in and demand that they jump all the way two steps ahead . . . such tactics always backfire. Such tactics sure sound great in the secluded world of internet discussion forums, though. I am talking about the real world and the actual legislature here in Atlanta under the Gold Dome. |

View Quote It's not what "I" call it, it's the common use terminology and it's not a name for carrying concealed without a license. It's the name given for the ability to carry, any way you want, without being forced to have a license as was the constitutional intent. Or, in other words, doing away with the unconstitutional license requirement to practice your constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. |
