Military ID Card?

[EugenFJR]

I thought you had to be 21 to buy and carry a handgun. Unless your a MP on duty/orders, then the age wont apply since your doing fed. duty. Dont think that your military ID will do anything for you, a cop has arrest powers, and can arrest you for ANY infraction of the law, even if your on active duty.

You do have to be 21 to purchase a handgun. (From a FFL holder that is).

I " know a guy" who nearly getting caught on guard duty with a privately owned weapon "On The Border" a long time ago. They wouldn't arm us because they didn't want an international incident. If you lived in the barracks, you had to keep your guns in the armory, and could only sign it out to take to the range. If you sold, you had to show a receipt.

Yes, you are exempted from carry laws with a military ID.

(a) Code Sections 16-11-126 through 16-11-127.2 shall not apply to or affect any of the following persons if such persons are employed in the offices listed below or when authorized by federal or state law, regulations, or order:

(3) Persons in the military service of the state or of the United States;

I looked through the code and all I could find about age is this:

(2) No weapons carry license shall be issued to:

(A) Any person under 21 years of age;

So you're not exempted from this section...but since you're not trying to be issued a weapons carry license, it shouldn't matter.

IANAL

Any way you look at it, DON'T try carrying on campus.
That will get you more trouble than you have ever seen.

So should I run it by local Leo before doing it? Lol

I'd just hold off on carrying until you turn 21. As long as you don't carry in those "prohibited places" you should be fine.

Which code sections deal with age for carry or possession?

Which code sections deal with campus carry?

Yes, and military is exempted from 16-11-127.1. Of course, for anything lower than college or university campuses, there is federal law, from which military members in Georgia are not exempted.
