Georgia: Gov. Perdue to make final mark on gun laws

Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Outgoing Gov. Sonny Perdue today will put his final stamp on legislation passed during the 2010 General Assembly session. Perdue, who is leaving office at the end of the year, has until today to sign or veto legislation. Perdue will decide on two gun bills. One is an overhaul of the state's laws applying to weaponry and public gatherings. Among other things, it would permit people with concealed weapons permits to carry guns at airport pick up and drop off points. The other would permit the carrying of licensed weaponry in any airport areas that aren't covered by federal restrictions.
