The governor is signing the gun bill this very minute. Here's seven delightful things that are in the bill.
-----------------------------
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal will sign a new gun law into effect today that greatly expands the number of public places where licensed owners are allowed to carry their weapons. Critics have called the law extreme, while the National Rifle Association lauded it as an historic victory for the Second Amendment. What does the Safe Carry Protection Act really do? Heres a brief list of the major changes ahead for Georgians when the law takes effect July 1st.
1. Bars
Before the new law, gun owners were not allowed to bring their firearms into bars unless the bar owner specifically allowed it. But under the Safe Carry Protection Act, the emphasis is reversed. A patron can bring guns into bars unless the owner tells him or her to leave.

Heck, they think Zimmerman is law-abiding and a responsible gun owner too.
if I live to be 1000 I will never understand the NRA mind.
