Guns on Campuses in Georgia
Kennesaw, Georgia --(Ammoland.com)- A number of states now allow law-abiding individuals to carry firearms for individual protection on college and university campuses.
Texas is soon to follow suit. About ten folks emailed me the following article yesterday. I thought I’d share it with you:
Why are firearms still prohibited on college and university campuses here in the State of Georgia?
Republicans have held enormous majorities in both houses of the legislature, and have had a Republican Governor, for many years now.
Here’s the bad news: last year, Republicans in Georgia supported a bill that codified into law the prohibition of firearms on college and university campuses.
And, so far in this session, Republican leadership has held up every piece of firearms legislation.
The good news is that there is a bill to do away with this prohibition — HB 55:
You and I need to continue to build pressure on our Republican legislators. Urge them to stop holding up the restoration of our liberties.
I have included two links below that will provide you with contact information for your State Representative and Senator.
Please give each of them a call today.
Remind them that when they tell you that they are “pro-gun” during election season, that you expect to hear from them publicly during legislative season.
- Contact your State Representative
- Contact your State Senator
For liberty,
