GCO Fighting for our rights

[jrwalte]

If you aren't already a GCO member and live in Georgia, you need to join.

No one fights for our rights to bear arms more than them.

Two recent cases:
1) Court Grants GCO's Motion to intervene in Stand Your Ground, Dismisses Case

Federal District Judge Thomas Thrash granted GCO’s motion to intervene in the Rev. Markel Hutchins’ ill-conceived lawsuit against Georgia’s “Stand Your Ground” law on Friday, September 28, 2012. Judge Thrash also granted GCO’s second motion to dismiss the case on account of Rev. Hutchins’ failure to obtain service or process on either defendant, Attorney General Sam Olens and Gov. Nathan Deal. GCO’s first motion to dismiss (for failure to state a claim) therefore became moot. The documents may be read here.

2) GCO Asks Chehaw Park Authority to Stop Banning Guns

GCO Attorney John Monroe wrote a letter to the Chehaw Park Authority in Albany, Georgia, asking the authority to stop banning people from possessing guns in the park. A copy of the letter may be viewed here.

I am also a member of GCO,but I have one question..........What do they do OUTSIDE of the state? Do they have any national org?

 

[jrwalte]

I do not think so. Which is probably why they do so well in Georgia, since it is their only focus.

I figured they just want to help all law abiding citizens who respect the 2nd amendment

NRA does very little (or not that effective) on the state level to get changes passed. They're focused more on the federal level. There is an advantage to a state run organization with members that are citizens of the state, which allows the organization to get more accomplished on the state level. The other states need their own state org to fight for their rights and GCO needs to stay focused on ours, as they are, to be most effective.
