WV CCW With GA Driver's License

I am a happy transplant to Duluth, GA. Been here 1.5 years.

I have a valid Georgia driver's license. I also have a valid, official, Concealed Carry Permit from my origin state of West Virginia. It expires in 2020.

May I legally conceal carry in GA with my WV CCP?

Although we did get a grace period passed - it only extends 90 days

Go..... go get your GWCL ASAP !
