you can't be to careful with all the thug botanists around
No wands or metal detectors.
You can carry in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. OC even if you wish. GA Carry won a lawsuit against them about carrying because it is a publicly owned venue. Lots of reading on GeorgiaPacking.org if you are so inclined to go there and look.
Actually, all Georgiacarry.org "won" was a ruling that they could get as far as the Georgia Supreme Court to have the case heard at the highest levels.
That highest Court took the case, and clarified the law in that it said that publicly owned property can be considered "private" if there is a long-term lease legally classified as an "estate of years." Shorter term leases would generally be viewed as a "usufruct" and such property would remain classified as owned by the government, so the government would be banned from having restrictions on guns there that are not already part of our state's gun carry laws.
The Supreme Court told the lower court to make a determination about what type of lease Atlanta botanical Gardens had from the city of Atlanta.
That court determined that the lease was a term of years, and therefore the Gardens had the power to ban guns from the premises.
GCO put up a good fight, but lost.

And if you understand what this means, you are doing better than 95% of the lawyers in this state.
Classic case of a "distinction without a difference", and "it is what I say it is".
Heading to the Atlanta botanical gardens tonight. Let you know if I see any wands or metal detectors.
