Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill allowing Georgia residents to carry handguns in public without a license or background check into law Tuesday. The governor signed a second measure that gives concealed weapons permit holders from other states the ability to carry legally in Georgia as well.
The Georgia Senate passed what supporters call the "Constitutional Carry Act" at the beginning of April, sending it to the governor’s desk for signature.
Standing in front of a crowd of supporters outside Gable Sporting Goods in Douglasville, Kemp said the bill is a public safety measure.
"SB 319 makes sure that law-abiding Georgians — law-abiding Georgians, including out daughters and your family too — can protect themselves without having the permission of the state government. The constitution of the United States gives us that right, not the government," Kemp said Tuesday. "HB 218 ensures that individuals who are licensed to carry in another state are also authorized to do so here in Georgia."
...
Under the new law, it is still illegal for convicted felons to carry weapons. Consumers still need to pass a background check to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Georgia.
GA is the 25th or 26th state to pass this.[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 04-12-2022).]
