"the probate court of the county in which he resides...

See 16-11-129(a):

"which license shall authorize that person to carry any pistol or revolver in any county of this state notwithstanding any change in that person's county of residence or state of domicile."

 

Yea, I think the issuance is the only thing that has to be done by the probate judge in the county which one resides.

 

Considering I may be moving counties less than 8 weeks after I actually get my grubby hands on my GFL, this is of great interest to me as well.

**Edit** Too slow on the draw for the fast fingered GPO folks again

 

I thought you could just keep your original address until renewal comes around? Even once you move. In other words, I thought your address at application held until you had to renew. I don't think that holds true for state-to-state, though.

 

I thought they were about two different things. 128 is about issuance and 129 is about validity of the license.

 

Well, considering that criminal statutes must be construed strictly against the state, the ambiguity of the two statutes must be resolved in favor of the defendant.

So, yes.

 

Why do I love Georgia so much

 

Very true, thanks for reminding me.

 

There can't be that many GS1.

 

I took it as he was talking in general, not just firearms.

 

Best reason to live in Georgia? No jobs in Louisiana and Mississippi. And it's not Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Kalifornia, DC, or New York. It's kind of like working tough construction while eating entire large pizzas for lunch. You can overcome your horrid eating habits for a while by sweating your ass off, but eventually it's going to catch up with you.

As far as gun laws, we all know where GA stands in comparison to even my favorite Banana Republic.

 

Yeah, but they won't even let you pump your own gas!
