The new law address those concerns by A. Making it illegal for state law enforcement to ask a gun owner if he/she has a permit for their gun and B. It allows the felon to invoke the Stand Your Ground defense even if they were illegally carrying. I am drunk in a hotel room otherwise I'd provide a citation, but all one has to do is Google it.

Certainly an envelope pushing concept. I a wonder if a felon could break into your home to rob you, wait for you to say "stop thief" and then shoot you based on the theory he was afraid you had a gun and were going to shoot him? It also kind of kills the whole concept of felony murder. So if your a criminal in Georgia make sure to always carry a gun and kill your victims otherwise you wont be able to use this new envelope pushing defense.




Don't you feel much safer now?

Crooks just hate people with CCW's. Why, they may wake up dead when trying to get an easy pice of a$$.

Of course folks on the left will decry something about racist somwhere along the line.

As an Atlanta native, when I first heard about this bill, I rolled my eyes.

Unfortunately, when something big happens in Atlanta the "backwards southern racist redneck" jokes come out. However, this is a VERY VERY blue city in a red state.
Furthermore, Atlanta is not a safe town. There are some parts of the city that are wonderful, but there is a reason most people live outside the city limits.

It will be interesting to see where this goes, if anything more than a lot of people yelling at each other.

And for those that argue its the Republicans fault and the Republican Gov. is turning Ga. into the Wild Wild West, his Democratic Challenger, Jason Carter also approved/supported the bill.
So, we will see..

Not surprising. There are a lot scared (almost paranoid) folks out there. I see many posts on the pro gun sites that I frequent where large burly men are afraid to visit cities unless they are carrying. I visit these cities unarmed and I'm not burly. I'm not scared. I'm cautious but I allow fear to control me. I'd rather run away than confront danger so carrying in the big city is not a goal of mine except in certain situations where I prefer to be armed. A lot of redneck types feel naked if they're unarmed.

Snidely, my 22 years old boy is a 2013 graduate of Indiana University. He and three of his equally, and hopefully temporarily, poor friends live in a very bad part of Indianapolis. They are 8 months deep into a 12 month lease, and they were been robbed while at work during week #1. Four weeks ago, my son and his girlfriend were held up at gun point while getting out of his car immediately outside of his rental. He had the gun in his face for about a minute. Three weeks ago and one block to the west, the mini mart was held up at gunpoint. Last week, the drug house 5 blocks to the north experienced a driveby shooting with 22 rounds hitting the home.

I wish my son carried a gun, and I wish that he blew this punk into Never, Neverland. My boy is now making a nice salary, yet he won't leave until his contract expires. He's staying on principle, yet I'm concerned that he won't experience a 23rd birthday.
