Georgia's 2A Bill

Score one for the home state, where the legislature just sent a sweeping liberalization of gun laws to the governor. Among other things, it would:

* Repeal the unnecessary and duplicative state-required license for a firearms dealer, instead requiring only a Federal Firearms License (FFL).

* Prohibit a ban on firearms in public housing, ensuring that the right to self-defense should not be infringed based on where one calls home.

* Remove the sweeping restrictions on legally carrying a firearm with a WCL in bars, leaving this decision to private property owners.

* Allow for churches to opt-in for legal carry with only a civil penalty of a $100 if a person happens to carry into a prohibited church unknowingly.

Full details at the link, but this is a very, very good development.
