HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT A LICENSE If Not Don’t flourish a Pistol. New Law Makes It Mis demeanor to Even Show One Unless You Have a License. Representative Sheppard calls at tention to the fact that a law enacted a* the last session of the leglslav.u e, to which little public attentic'i baa been called, makes it a misdemeanor 1-, Georgia for any one to carry a p.s- .01 outside of his own premises, wi tiUer concealed or not. Heretofore It has been permissible to carry a pistol so long as It was T.oi concealed. This proviston fre quently made it difficult to make cases and secure convictions. Parties ge.- ting into an altercation and produc ing a pistol 'would swear that the pis tol was carried exposed. For th.s there was no penalty under the law Now dt Is entirely different. An one seen with a pistol outside of his tome or store can be arrested and punished for a misdemeanor, unleri such party has a license to carry' an exposed weapon. Such a license must be secured from the ordinary of the county and must b e accompanied by a satisfactory bonj for $100. This hon'd will put It out of the Q^cs tion for the army of undesirables to carry pistols without being liable to arrest and conviction if they are ever seen with them. Properly enforced, It Is believed the new law will help to hasten the d«.r when the army of pistol toters will he greatly reduoed In numbers and th frightful list of homicides be also cut down to proportions that will not be auoh a reflection upon the civilization of the state.
