| In GA is it manditory to give a reason when applying for a CCW licence? I have read some over on georgapacking and don't see anything about it, but have heard from several people that you have to give a reason for applying. Any help is appreciated. |
| Fill in the form, get fingerprints, and wait, that's all I did here in Gilmer county and I got it within the prescribed 60 days. I certainly don't remember there being a question on the form regarding reason. If there was, at most it was a selection from a couple choices as there were no 'long answer' questions. |
| I applied today in Mitchell Co. No question about why I was applying for a CCW. Infact after I paid the fee and went to go get fingerprinted, I was told that I would have my results back in 30 sec. Sure enough it came back that quick, right in front of me. Now I have to wait for the card in the mail. I asked the lady at the courthouse how long it would take to get them, and she stated that it shouldn't take but about a month. She then proceeded to tell me that a local farmer came in to apply, and that was last year and he still hasn't received his yet. |
| Well My wife and I went Friday and applied for our CCW's. I may never use mine b/c I work for a college, but my wife travels out of town for work alot and we feel she should start carrying. Anyway, they did not as for a reason. Just answered a questionaire about if we were legal to carry, paid the $39 each, went to the Sheriff office and got our prints and paid $5 each. Now its a waiting game... |
does she travel within the state??? just asking because the GA permit isn't reciprocated by all states, including a couple of our neighboring states (like SC!!!). |
She mostly travels in the state, but on occasion so goes to AL, FL, and SC...so we'll have to look into getting her an out of state license to cover her. |
|
If she goes into SC she just has to put it in the glove compartment. I checked with SC DPS before I started travelling to NC on a weekly basis and they told me "it can be loaded or unloaded in the glove compartment or center console. And please let the officer know that you have a firearm should the occassion arise" Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, and laws change frequently, and one LEO is not the same as another so always be careful in SC. I always breathe a sigh of relief once I cross into NC or GA, depending on if I am going to work or coming home. |
| Oh yes, believe him on this, I lost a hicap ruger p99, in 99, due to this stupid law, I had it in the seat, in plain view, I got slapped wiht illegal possesion of a firearm. But I explained to them that I was getting ready to go to boot camp and they told me they needed hi cap guns in thier department, and they would drop the charges if I would "Donate" the gun to the dept. I agreed but only if they would give me documentation stating that they dropped the felony firearms charge, and the make model and serial number of the gun. So all in all I was out 100 bucks for the gun, and kept a clean record. But all states west from here to texas horon our lisense. |
AL and FL honor a Georgia license. Packing.org is down right now. I was gonna see who SC reciprocated with, but it's not many. |

Took me about 90 days to get mine late last year. Its interesting because I've had one for years and have cleared a BATF background check not too long ago. Heard they were just backed up then. Someone said last week the wait time was down to about a month. I've never been asked a reason. Georgia is a "shall issue" state so they shouldn't need a reason __________ "just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean there's not somebody after me hinking.gif" |
| Since there's nowhere on the form for giving a reason, why would anybody ever think that one had to give a reason in GA? We ARE a "shall issue" state. The clear intent of the legislature was that the license be issued within 60 days of the application, whether or not the reporting agency had reported within that time frame. |
because more than ten years ago, some of us had to fill in an answer in a blank on an internal form at the North Fulton Service Center. it was an internal form that you hand-printed, then the Probate Ct office staff typed out the form based on the printed information. i have never seen it again in the 2 visits back there since. |

Fulton Co, huh? Few years back, one of my sons went through a license check in S. GA and was arrested for driving with a suspended license. I get a call from my son, and he told me that he was in jail in Cusseta and that my youngest son, who was 8-yrs-old at the time was alone, unsupervised in the jail lobby. I knew that my son's license shouldn't have been suspended, because he'd never committed any kind of infraction that would have merited suspension, and I'd just bought him a new car. The insurance would never have been issued for a 19-yr-old's coverage had his license been suspended. Long story short, seems that a clerk in the Fulton County Juvenile Court had illegally suspended my son's license, effective until he turned 21. Happened when my son was 16 and was involved in a minor fender-bender, while transporting some friends, during the school day, to a school function. I appeared with him in court (he was charged with illegal lane change), paid the fine, and assumed that was the end of it. But no, that illustrious clerk for some reason (COULD be she didn't like the hue of his white face on his driver's license) ILLEGALLY took it upon herself to suspend the license as aforementioned. (Even if there'd had been a suspensionable offense, the Juvenile Court wouldn't have had the authority to suspend beyond age 17) How did I find out these details? First, I had some interesting correspondence with the judge who'd heard the case; mainly, though, I spoke with the GA State Patrol captain who was in charge of Suspension and Revocation. He personally ran down the history of the suspension and personally spoke with that simian clerk, who, when told that she'd committed an illegal act, said, "We does it all the time!" |
WTF does this have to do with a CCW permit? Do you just feel the need to vent random crap to the world or something? 
|
did FulCo Juvenile Court advise you on getting the suspension lifted? sounds like you dealt with the charge and left. all the personnel i have dealt with at the North Fulton Service Center have been white. |
