This is what I hate about the "carrying laws." In my opinion, if you are going to carry, be legal by knowing 100 percent that you are; don't guess. And on top of that, if you are carrying, get a good concealable holster, this way no one knows you even have it.

I agree that's why I'm trying to educate you. Heck you can openly carry at Stone Mountain Park. But by all means carry as you choose.

Actually it was HB89 where we got State Park Carry. The lawsuit I posted above settled the Stone Mountain lease issue.

Do you have that law by any chance.

These laws change all the time but it was my understanding a military member may possess a firearm while in the commission of his official duties.

Actually active members can carry in places that I as a GWL holder cannot.

He is correct, so long as active duty. I will be back to post the law.

You don't have to be active duty. Law states in the military service of state or federal government. That includes National Guard.

16-11-130 I believe is the Georgia code. Basically says certain people are exempt from all the carry laws stated prior to 130...those people include state or federal military.

Going to jail over carrying when you don't know you if you can is not worth it, but then again neither is not having a firearm when you need it. My OPINION is stay away from areas where you feel you need it. The best defense is a good offense and game plan!

What's frustrating is that even the cops don't know the law 100%...but if they screw up and get it wrong, the only person that suffers is the lawful carrier wrongfully arrested or prosecuted. If the lawfully intentioned carrier gets it wrong, again, they're the ones that suffer.

Thanks for the correction. I was actually just trying to reference a good place for him to study carry laws in general. But, you are much better at it than I am. So, carry on. Thanks again.

But if their rights are violated they can sue.
