I live in Georgia and I am prior service active duty Army. I joined the Army National Guard last week. Now I am all confused. I have a GFL and know the carry laws as they applied to me, but how does it apply to me now that I am again in the military???
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-130 states military are exempt from 16-11-126 through 16.11.127.2Exemptions from Code Sections 16-11-126 through 16-11-127.2
(3) Persons in the military service of the state or of the United States;
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-126
Possession and carrying a concealed weapon; penalty for violating licensing requirement
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-127
Carrying weapons in unauthorized locations; penalty
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-127.1
Carrying weapons within school safety zones, at school functions, or on school property
O.C.G.A. § 16-11-127.2
Firearm or weapon on premises of nuclear power facility
The way it reads, I am exempt from needing a GFL which is not an issue to me because I have one and plan on keeping it. The thing that really puzzles me is it seems to read I am exempt from off-limits areas? 16-11-126 does not state I am only exempt while on duty carrying a duty weapon. Can someone please shed light onto this?
