I don't know of any limitations.cfowers said:What limitations (if any) to weapons cal are there in GA as far as OC and CC are concerned?
There are no restrictions on caliber for the GFL/GWL that us common folk are issued. Federal restrictions on destructive devices still apply though.There are 2 weapons licenses that are issued in Georgia. A license issued under code 43-38-10 is a special carry license that is issued to armed security guards employed by a security agency. This license gives its bearer the authority to carry everywhere a LEO can carry, but only while on duty AND only if it is in performance of the bearer's duties. This license is NOT valid when the bearer is off duty and the bearer is limited to a revolver caliber of up to .357 magnum and a semi-automatic caliber up to 45 ACP. This license is beyond the scope of this document, but if you wish to get more information, it can be obtained in the Georgia code in title 43 chapter 38.
I just had to go and add that since the 'uglier' shotguns are regulated even though they don't do anything that any other shotgun won't do.HydroAuto said:"... That was a sarcastic remark. The NFA of '34 definition of destructive devices includes things like rockets, grenade launchers, guns with bores greater than 0.5" in diameter (pretty looking shotguns are excepted) and other 'fun' devices.

Good point, I started thinking about that after I posted... there's a certain street sweeper that meets the criteria, although "pretty" is a subjective term.Fallschirmjäger said:I just had to go and add that since the 'uglier' shotguns are regulated even though they don't do anything that any other shotgun won't do.HydroAuto said:"...
