Unlike most states, Georgia requires a permit to carry an unconcealed handgun. But now Georgia State Representative Tim Bearden (R – Carroll and Douglas Counties) seeks to change that by introducing HB 615. . . . Arguably then Representative Bearden’s HB 615 is just legislating the Constitutional mandate that free men and women have the right to open carry without any permit. Not only is that already the law in most states, that’s what the North Carolina Supreme Court said in State v. Kerner, 181 N.C. 574 (1921) (striking down state statute requiring permit to open carry handgun as unconstitutional violation of state constitution’s right to bear arms provision).
