Legislation To Expand Gun Owners' Rights Passes Posted: 5:02 pm EDT April 28, 2010Updated: 5:29 pm EDT April 28, 2010
ATLANTA -- Licensed Georgia gun owners
would be allowed to carry their firearms into parts of the world's busiest airport under a measure that was approved by state lawmakers. The legislation aims to build on a 2008 measure that allowed those with permits to carry firearms on mass transit. Atlanta officials quickly declared Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
a "gun-free zone" and federal judges upheld the ban in court. But the measure adopted by the House Tuesday by a 120-37 vote specifically allows gun owners to carry their weapons in areas of the airport not controlled by the federal government, such as terminals and parking lots.“SB 291 will dramatically improve law-abiding Georgian’s second amendment rights
,” said Representative Katie Dempsey, a Republican from Rome. “This legislation expands where licensed holders may lawfully carry their firearms and eases their license renewal process.”Channel 2 Action News does not have immediate reaction from opponents of the measure.The measure has already passed the Senate and now goes to Gov. Sonny Perdue for his consideration.
