I'll be traveling through your fine state for Bike Week in about 5 weeks.
I do not have a permit that is good in GA. I believe you can carry concealed in an automobile. Any one know how to get through your state on a bike legally? Can the gun be loaded in a locked side case? Thanks. |

Any one know how to get through your state on a bike legally? Can the gun be loaded in a locked side case? Thanks. Good question. Here is the code section most relevant to your question This code section does not forbid the carrying of a loaded handgun in any private motor vehicle by a person who is not licensed, but also who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm, in an open manner and totally exposed to view. For those who are not listed as ineligible for a license (found below in the "Firearm License Carrying" section) may also place the gun anywhere inside the vehicle. A person who has a license issued under code 16-11-129 may carry a loaded handgun in any location, openly or concealed, in the vehicle. As I read it, unless there is a reason why you can not posses a weapon you can carry in your motor vehicle. Do you have a VA permit or you .mil? Bottom line is yes you can carry your weapon loaded in a locked side case. The Bald Monk A tech writer and not lawyer or LEO |

I have a VA permit. I'm going to send off my NH application early next week (I hope).
Maybe I will get their permit by the time I head out. Otherwise, I'll just unload it and separate the ammo and gun (per FOPA). Shouldn't take that long to get through GA doing 80 mph.

For what it is worth, you are really don't have unload your weapon as long as it is secured in side case. Check out this forum for more info http://www.georgiapacking.org/forum/ Have a safe trip and enjoy your time in GA The Bald Monk |
