GeorgiaCarry.Org States Its Case: GeorgiaCarry.Org?s
mission is to foster the civil right of its members to bear arms.
While the phrase ?bear arms? is familiar to most
people from text of the Second Amendment, GCO?s mission is
focused on the notion that people have an inherent right to
self-defense that is firmly rooted in our history. The U.S.
Supreme Court recently ruled that the Second Amendment guarantees
an individual right to keep and bear arms, based on a human right
of self-defense that existed before the Constitution was
ratified. There has been a gradual erosion of this human right in
Georgia stemming from racial politics during Reconstruction and
the early 20th century. GCO seeks to undo this erosion?

Georgia to Consider Campus Carry: Legislators looking to expand
where Georgians can carry guns may take aim at university
campuses. Carry a gun on or within 1,000 feet of any campus now
and you could be charged with a felony, spend up to 10 years in
prison and pay as much as $10,000 in fines. But a panel of
lawmakers conducting a wholesale review of Georgia’s gun laws
soon will solicit opinions on removing or altering the ban. State
Sen. Mitch Seabaugh, R-Sharpsburg, who chairs the Senate Firearms
Committee, sees nothing wrong with allowing a licensed gun owner
to visit a college campus while carrying a concealed weapon.
Students should be allowed to stow hunting rifles in their cars
parked on campus, Seabaugh said. Several senators on the
committee, Democrats as well as Republicans, share that
view?
