In a clear victory for gun owners and citizens in general, Sonny Perdue signed legislation that expands carry rights to include parks and restaurants:
Georgians with carry licenses will be able to tote their concealed guns on public transportation, in restaurants that serve alcohol and in state parks under legislation signed by Gov. Sonny Perdue on Wednesday.
With Perdue's signature, restaurant patrons will be permitted to carry a firearm, but would be barred from drinking while doing so. Violations would be a misdemeanor. Concealed weapons will now be allowed in state — and by extension — local parks. Firearms in purses or under jackets will also be permitted on public transportation.
Note the wonderfully biased language above. I'll let them have their fun, but I'll be "toting" the next time I take the train or go out to eat and if someone tries to threaten my family while I'm there, I'll try to protect the liberals too.
