Strange that Georgia's legislature would use different langague for carrying openly v. concealed even though both require a permit - and odd that the Judge apparently did not mention the Prouse case in his opinion - in Prouse, the U S. Ct. said drivers cannot be stopped just to check if they have a driver's license.
Seems to me the same principle is at issue here.

I believe the problem was not that he was carrying concealed per se, but rather the fact that he was seen concealing it prior to entering the rapid transit property. Had he not been "playing" with the damned thing beforehand, none of this would have happened. His actions provoked a reasonable suspicion.

Ah, but what was your condition before getting into the car? Were you staggering all over the place? That, indeed, would be a reason.

wrong
Possession and/or discharge of a firearm while under the influence
It is against the law to be in possession of firearm while engaged in hunting and fishing activities or discharge a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or any drug or any combination of alcohol and any drug to the extent that it is unsafe for the person to discharge such firearm except in the defense of life, health, and property;
It is also against the law to discharge a firearm while engaged in any shooting activity while under the influence of alcohol or any drug or any combination of alcohol and any drug.
It is NO defense to violation of this law even if you are legally entitled to use such a drug (prescription). (16-11-134, 27-3-7)
You may carry a firearm into a restaurant that serves alcohol (gross annual sales are made up of more than 50% from food, check their business license if you are not sure if they are a bar or restaurant) as long as you do not drink alcohol. (16-11-127)

Like driving a car, LEO's can't just stop you to see if you have a licenses they need more to make the stop. The US Supreme court has even affirmed this.

How? What suspicion? Concealed carry is lawful in Georgia. If its lawful then the LEO has to have some RAS that that particular person was NOT licensed to conceal.

That's a bunch of bull. Unless you have a really expensive holster, driving with my weapon on my hip is very uncomfortable and I, for myself, seldome do that. I always holster when getting out of my vehicle. I don't see how that's "playing" wih it.
