Atlanta, GA -- A new Georgia law will allow passengers to pack pistols riding public transportation.
The law also allows Georgians with gun permits to bring their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol, and into state parks.
The problem I have with the new freedom to carry guns is that people up to no good are also more free to carry guns as they won't stand out as doing something illegal. It certainly makes me want to keep me and mine home more.
Here is one of the most recent stories in our immediate area.
"There was new information Friday in the case of a man who was shot outside of a Wal-Mart in Gwinnett County. Lawrenceville police said that they caught two of the men involved in the shooting and are now looking for a third..."We believe he's dangerous," said Major King. He went on to say, "Evidently he doesn't care much for other people's lives and is willing to take someone's life just for a few dollars."
Anyone care to comment on this?
You are kidding, right? You know that the new laws apply to Georgians with gun permits, right? Are you saying that Georgians with gun permits are committing more crimes? If so, provide your evidence.
ReplyDeleteIf not, then any real or perceived uptick in crime in the past seven days (since the law went into effect) has NOTHING to do with the new laws, now does it?
Quite frankly, your statement that "people up to no good are also more free to carry guns as they won't stand out as doing something illegal" is just plain dumb.
How many permitted gun owners do you see carrying these days? For that matter, how many criminals do you see packing?
Please tell me that you're a teenager with a lot of living and learning to do. No rational adult could have come up with this.
Sorry to disappoint you but I am not a child, nor am I stupid. I am just observant. It is not crazy to say that criminals will be more bold about carrying guns because they can blend in amongst all of the legally licensed gun toters.
ReplyDeletebtw, I am not insinuating that Georgians with gun permits are committing more crimes. They are not the ones I am worried about.
