So some Georgians are showing the importance of guns to them is top priority! One has filed a law

suit over it.

A Georgia gun owner has sued Gov. Brian Kemp and the Fulton County probate judge because the novel coronavirus has led many state courts to suspend the issuance of carry licenses.

Sara Carter, a Fulton County resident, and gun-rights organization Georgia Carry filed the lawsuit Thursday against Kemp and Fulton County Probate Judge Pinkie Toomer.

“You’ve got one state law saying you can’t carry a weapon without a license,” Monroe said. “And then we’ve got essentially a law created by the probate judges saying ‘we’re not going to issue licenses.’ And then you’ve got the Second Amendment saying you have the right to carry a weapon. So it’s hard to jibe all that.”
Monroe also sent a letter to Kemp last month urging him to use the powers granted to him during the state’s health emergency to suspend enforcement of Georgia’s carry law and allow gun owners to keep their weapons on them even if they don’t have a license.

“I think the easiest solution would be not to enforce the crime of carrying the weapon without a license,” he said.

What is she worried about? Does she intend to try to shoot the virus? Or maybe shoot some person who might give it to her?
