BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
Code Section 16-11-130 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to exemptions from Code Section 16-11-126, relating to carrying a concealed weapon; Code Section 16-11-127, relating to carrying deadly weapons to or at public gatherings; Code Section 16-11-127.1, relating to carrying weapons within school safety zones, at school functions, or on school property; and 16-11-128, relating to carrying a pistol without a license, is amended by inserting at the end thereof a new subsection to read as follows:

I would suggest this is a good bill and that GFODL should support it.

Somebody was listening to the "to" language objection in the public gathering law . . .

Isn't this the one Seajay and others were asked about several times?

Other than the incrementalist approach, I see nothing to which we should object, and believe this should have support.

Now, if we could only get them to amend it to insert "holder of a license issued pursuant to 16-11-129," all the other stuff we are trying to amend would not matter!

If it works for off duty military, it should be ok for us . . .

Excellent bill.

Now, if we could only get them to amend it to insert "holder of a license issued pursuant to 16-11-129," all the other stuff we are trying to amend would not matter!

I wish, all that would do is eliminate section 1 of our bill.

And section 4.

Well this is a tiny step in the right direction.

Maybe we could try to get it amended to read

(f) persons licensed to carry firearms.

Senate read and referred March 3, 2005, no subsequent action.
