Fallschirmjägers' Advice is Factually Correct.

Under Georgia Law 16-11-129, if You Qualify, The Probate Court Judge HAS to Issue a Georgia Weapons Carry License to The Applicant.

Under Georgia Law, EVERYONE Qualifies under Georgia Law, unless; The Probate Court Judge can PROVE a Licensing Exception under Georgia Code 16-11-129(b).
