I'm coming home on leave from Afghanistan and will probably try my hand at open carrying as a "civilian" versus carrying an like I do on deployment. Anybody have any experience with open carrying or concealed carry in the buckhead area?

Try the forums at GPDO.

Tons of ATL guys there with tons of info.

According to: O.C.G.A. § 16-11-130

you do not need a Georgia Firearms License to carry, openly or concealed. Can't hurt to get your GFL.

Also, please join GCO. They're an awesome group fighting for your 2A rights.
