Guns Everywhere Bill

At noon today the governor of GA, Nathan Deal is expected to sign what is officially called the Safe Carry Protection Act into law. It’s one of the most permissive state gun laws in the nation, and it will allow licensed owners to carry firearms into more public places than at any time in the past century, including bars and government buildings that don't have security checkpoints. Churches can opt in and schools can appoint staffers to carry weapons also. If you bring your firearm to the airport security checkpoint you will now be allowed to pick up your weapon and leave with no criminal penalty. Last year 111 weapons were found at TSA screening areas at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The NRA and many conservative groups are for this bill but there are others opposed, including Gabby Giffords’ group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, Michael Bloombergs’, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, and one more person, me.
