I am planning a trip to FL, where my CCP is currently honored. GA does not currently honor my permit, wondering if anyone knows the specifics of travelling through GA?
thanks |

Now I see you're in Virginia, of all the states you will be traveling through Georgia is not going to give you any problem.
I lived in the city in Georgia where we were required to have a handgun to live there. When I used to tell the police when they pulled me over that I had a handgun in my car they were just blow it off , and I am shady looking. |

O.C.G.A. § 16-11-126
Having or carrying handguns, long guns, or other weapons; license requirement; exceptions for homes, motor vehicles, private property, and other locations and conditions (a) Any person who is not prohibited by law from possessing a handgun or long gun may have or carry on his or her person a weapon or long gun on his or her property or inside his or her home, motor vehicle, or place of business without a valid weapons carry license. http://www.georgiapacking.org/GaCode/?title=16&chapter=11§ion=126 |

We have gun laws here?  Sounds like an AWB coming soon. May as well hand them in now My understanding is that they're saying to drive south, and throw it over the state line since Florida is essentially a giant gun. |

Quoted: You can have your gun anywhere in your car, visible or not, without a Georgia weapons license. There is no duty to inform in ga, so if you do get pulled over, and it's out of sight, there is no need to bring it up. Your car is considered an extension of your home. Don't need a CCW permit to conceal in your home. |
|
You don't need to stick it in your glovebox either.
If you are eligible to possess a gun (ie, not a convicted felon, etc) you can have it in your car even on your person in your car. Happy Motoring. Previous advice not to stop in Macon is well placed. Macon sucks crime wise. |

Quoted: While this is sound advice, isn't there still a Fresh Air Bar-B-Que north of Macon, on Riverside Drive?  Quoted: I was going to say don't stop UNARMED in Macon, but why stop there at all, you know? While this is sound advice, isn't there still a Fresh Air Bar-B-Que north of Macon, on Riverside Drive? |

If you have a nice car, don't drive it to Georgia. I just spent about a week down there, and I spent most of my time on the road regretting driving my own car down there. It's basically a third world country.
Seriously, rent a car. If someone hits you, just swap it for another. |

We've got some dipshits for sure, but after driving around in Georgia, all those apocalyptic photos from that snow storm made complete sense to me. Georgia drivers remind me of women driver jokes. They all need to get off the road and stay in the kitchen. If Georgians could drive like they can cook  , this post wouldn't exist.

What part of GA are you talking about? This. Most of it? I went in on I-75, spent a night in Cartersville, rolled down to Savannah, spent several days there with a day trip to Jacksonville, and then I left for South Carolina. |

The craziest driving I've seen in the US, in no particular order, was in Honolulu, Houston, Seattle/Tacoma, and Georgia. I can't decide if I'm more astonished by what I saw in Atlanta or on the I-95 corridor. |

Atlanta is full of carpetbaggers who learned to drive in the north, and I-95 is full of snowbirds and other yankees. the rest of the state drives sensibly, if not a little slow. |

Besides most of Gwinnett County, GA is not as bad as the Carolinas. At least most people in GA are TRYING to go fast (ETA: Metro Atlanta area). The Carolinas put valium in the water and folks drive like that. With a massive lack of skill on top of it. |

And, we don't have to worry too much about rear-ending an Amish buggy...........and we don't have any turnpikes that cause wrecks in winter either. The biggest problem we have is Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Tennessee drivers getting in the left lane on the interstate and driving below the speed limit

I got rid of my sports ride and grabbed a big SUV first month here because I was sick of my low profile tires getting beat up on VA roads. |

My impression of GA drivers reminds me of Ohio. They aren't left lane campers, they own real estate there. And can I get a motherfucker who can look down the road and drive? No, I guess just keep alternating between the gas and brake. |

Lot's of time on the back roads between Fayetteville and the beach, I get reminded this is NASCAR country. In the cities, not so much. The worst thing about 95 is the fact that every third car is from NY or NJ, and some how the son of a bitch driving was allowed to grow to maturity without being told that the long line of people behind him are the reason his dumb ass should get out of the fast lane. Kind of like GA. |

GA drivers do suck. I moved from NOVA to Middle GA back in 1997, and my insurance (USAA) goes up $300/year. I called USAA and asked them why my rates went up. They told me that there's a higher rate of accidents, per capita, in Middle GA compared to NOVA. There have been countless times I've worked wrecks at 3:00 AM, perfect weather, and somehow, the only two cars on the road somehow manage to wreck into each other. |
