National Forests (listed here)

USDA Forest Service rules for carry in a National Forest are simply whatever the carry laws of the state the forest is in.

For Georgia that means the buildings on Forest land are off-limits as they would be a publicly owned building.

Be aware that the Georgia Department of Natural Resources leases land from the National Forests and uses them as Wildlife Management Areas which are off limits (see Places Off-Limits for more on WMAs).

Any National Forest land not in use as a WMA is ok to carry open or concealed.

 

No Signage Laws

A "No Firearms" sign on a private business does not mean anything. If your firearm is noticed, they simply ask you to leave. If the police arrive and you still refuse to leave you can be charged with criminal trespass. You keep your permit even if convicted.

However, some "public gatherings" (and any of the areas off-limits) such as a county hospital or the post office may have signs posted to inform you they are off-limits. You probably will lose your permit for several years if convicted.

So, just because you see a sign does not mean it is or isn't off-limits and just because you don't see a sign does not mean it is or isn't off-limits.
