At what point do we realize that we are two different people living in the same land area?

ELLIJAY, Ga. — It's legal for licensed gun owners in Georgia to pack heat in bars, schools, churches and some government buildings.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, a Republican, on Wednesday signed the state's "Safe Carry Protection Act," which critics dubbed the "guns everywhere bill," in north Georgia, on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest and Cohutta Wilderness area.

"Our state has some of the best protections for gun owners in the United States. And today we strengthen those rights protected by our nation's most revered founding document," Deal said in signing the bill.

The new law, which goes into effect July 1, allows licensed gun owners in Georgia and visitors from 28 other states to bring a gun into a bar without restrictions and carry a firearm into some government buildings that don't have security measures. It also allows school districts to decide whether they want some employees to carry a firearm and religious leaders to decide whether to allow licensed gun owners to tote to their church, synagogue or mosque.

1. This should end well...

Anyone who gets shot in a bar, church, or school, please remember to write Nathan Deal a Thank You note.

2. WTF does he mean "28 other states"?

If my state isn't one of them I won't be visiting Georgia anytime in the near future or even the distant future.

He wants me to go into a bar full of armed loonies and be prevented from carrying a gun myself? Fuck him and his dumbass state.

3. Likely that refers to reciprocity of concealed carry licenses between GA & other states.
