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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
