Georgia's House Bill 89 stands to fix a lot of the "public gathering" restrictions on carrying firearms (the ones that can send us to jail for 20 years if we get too close to a bus stop, for example). However, the Senate is trying to stall the bill over some small things. We're trying to put a lot of (polite!) pressure on them to pass the amendments as written. Part of that is an online petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/GAHB89/petition.html), we hit 1400+ signatures in about 3 days but we could still use your help! The bill itself is detailed in the link; please sign on if you can. Even if you're not a Georgia resident, but just a visitor who wants to carry.

Please, look it over and get others looking at it if you can.

Done and thanks for the info.

Still seems that it doesn't go far enough. I find that at some public gatherings is where I might need my pistol. Glad I live in KY where we can carry most anywhere we like as it is supoposed to be. Permit or not, as long as it is worn in plain view.

done...thanks for the post gtg
