jrm, do you know when that was?

 

[jrm]

Why, yes I do. In 1976, the legislature created the "modern" version of the GFL application process. Prior to that, the law since 1910 had been a simpler pronouncement that county ordinaries were empowered to issue permits.

This is probably apples and oranges, but here is the FAQ on why SS number is required for Hunting licenses

It is for child support reasons

Okay here is a little circular logic for you.

(8) 'Licensee' means any person holding a license.
(9) 'Licensing entity' means any state agency, department, or board of this state which issues or renews any license, certificate, permit, or registration to authorize a person to drive a motor vehicle, or to engage in a profession, business, or occupation including those under

Since a Firearm permit is required to work as a bail recovery agent does that makes it a professional permit?

I think definition 7 is probably more important.

(7) 'License' means a certificate, permit, registration, or any other authorization issued by any licensing entity that allows a person to operate a motor vehicle or to engage in a profession, business, or occupation.

Ga Law gives me a headache every time I try to make sense out of it.

That speaks for the DNR, and an exception to the federal privacy act, but not to the firearms license. A quick and not very thorough review does not show a statute applicable to a firearms license.

With that having been said, I have seen information implying that Probate Courts may be reporting this information to the DHR, perhaps in violation of the Privacy Act.

OCGA 19-11-9.1

I was looking in 19-11-9.3 not 19-11-9.1
19-11-9.1 covers hunting licenses but 19-11-9.3 covers profesonal licenses.

I just saw this a while back and did't want you to get blind sided with it in your efforts

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

And I appreciate it. I had not seen the statute before, and it answers a great many questions I had. With that having been said, I do not believe it applies to firearms license issued pursuant to O.C.G.A. 16-11-129.
