A local lawmaker filed legislation Tuesday that would allow concealed carry permit holders to bring their guns onto Georgia’s public college campuses and into classrooms.
Rep. Mandi Ballinger, R-Canton, who championed similar legislation during last year’s session, is trying once again to get a “Campus Carry” bill signed into law.
Last year’s bill, introduced by Rep. Rick Jasperse, R-Jasper, easily passed both chambers but was met with fierce opposition from Georgia residents and ultimately vetoed by Gov. Nathan Deal, who argued that college campuses have typically been “sanctuaries of learning” where weapons are prohibited. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
