Requires FFLs to run a purchaser against a database held by the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center. An individual found to be on this list must successfully petition the probate court in his or her county of residence for authorization to purchase a firearm.

If this passes, that means the checks would be done by the state and not by the FBI NICS system right?

If that is the case, how would this change effect background checks during purchase with our GWCL? My understanding is that the GWCL basically takes the place of the NICS check.

I am not 100% sure of the "ins & outs" of when a carry license issues by the state qualifies as acceptable. I tried to look to see if there are any states that conduct their own checks in which this applies.

I can't find an OCGA 35-3-205 . . .

I am thinking they mean 35-3-37, but it is difficult to tell.

#-o Nevermind. They are creating a new code section. :roll:

So, this bill is to forbid the sale of firearms to "known or suspected terrorists," as identified by any agency and reported to Georgia.

It does say "reasonably suspected," so we can't accuse this bill of being unreasonable. :lol:

I changed the title.

Another bogus government, superficially safety oriented, power grab like the No Fly list. Unfortunately, we all know that the no fly list has been demonstrated to be riddled with erroneous information but that it is next to impossible o get it changed. NICS, while not perfect, is clearly superior to any half-baked database that Georgia is going to set up and all legitimate restrictions on gun purchases are supposed to be reported to NICS already.
