If you keep your handgun out-of-sight, e.g., console, glove compartment, then the chances of anybody's raising an issue about your having it in your vehicle are somewhere between infinitesimal and zero, but probably a lot closer to zero. Seems-to-me that I recall that the GA Code requires that one be "eligible to be issued a Georgia Weapons License," in order to carry a loaded firearm in one's vehicle. I know that precludes 18-20 yr-olds from legally carrying in a vehicle, but don't know if that also includes out-of-staters, who also aren't eligible for a GA Weapons License. Code doesn't specify that it has to be "your" vehicle...can be any vehicle. |
