U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Today, January 10th, the Georgia Legislature begins the 2022 legislative session. Last week, Governor Brian Kemp announced his support for constitutional carry.

Very true. But the LEOSA guys would get me because the spineless Republican politicians that control the General Assembly and Governor’s Office won’t trust a vetted and licensed citizen to carry in their “special” places. Those places are reserved for their favored political pets to carry in.
Yes – it takes two.
Tyranny is not possible without both groups.
But Stacy Abrams and a Democrat run legislature would definitely be better for GA. gun owners LMFAO!
They just can’t stop.
