Historic Gun Rights Bill Expected to be Signed Into Law in GeorgiaLily Dane The bill is being called historic and is generating a lot of support and of course, a lot of controversy, as The New York Times reports: The law allows gun permit holders to carry weapons into places that were previously off-limits, like bars, airports, and churches. Heres what the bill (called HB 60) will enact, according to NRA-ILA: According to The New York Times, the bill was opposed not only by gun-control groups, but also by the states police chiefs association and restaurant association, Episcopal and Catholic churches, and the federal Transportation Security Administration. A majority of Georgians also opposed it, according to several polls. Despite the reported controversy surrounding the bill, Governor Deal, a Republican who is up for re-election this November, is expected to sign the bill into law. It is interesting to note that Deals Democratic opponent, State Senator Jason Carter, (who is President Jimmy Carters grandson), also voted for the bill. Within the last year alone, 21 states have passed laws that expand the rights of gun owners. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.
