On June 26th, the Georgia General Assembly adjourned sine die from its 2020 legislative session. Early in the session, critical self-defense legislation was making progress through the legislature. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis stalled those efforts for this year.
House Bill 787, sponsored by Representative Mandi Ballinger (R-23), would have granted universal recognition to concealed carry permits held by non-Georgia residents issued by any other state. It also would have directed the Georgia Attorney General to enter into formal reciprocity agreements with any state that requires a formal agreement to recognize a Georgia Weapons Carry License. Georgia residents traveling to other states and visitors to Georgia should not be left defenseless simply by crossing a state line.
