Gun bill to ease cross
state carry permits in
Georgia clears Senate
By Beau Evans
Staff Writer
Capitol Beat News Service
Legislation to loosen restrictions on gun owners who
carry weapons into Georgia from out of state is close to
clearing the General Assembly amid backlash from recent
mass shootings in the Atlanta area.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mandi Ballinger, R-Can-
ton, would allow anyone licensed to carry weapons in
other states to bring their guns legally into Georgia and
have their concealed-carry permits recognized.
It would also let Georgia probate judges create online
application portals for weapons-carry license requests and
renewals, as well as prohibit state officials from halting
weapons and ammunition sales during officially declared
emergencies.
The gun measure follows mass shootings at three dif
ferent spas in metro Atlanta earlier this month that left
eight people dead, sparking calls from firearm opponents
and Democratic lawmakers in favor of tighter gun-own
ership rides.
Republican lawmakers have dismissed calls to shelve
Ballinger’s gun measure in the wake of the spa shootings,
arguing that loosening rides on carry-permit reciprocity
between states aims to bolster constitutional gun-owner-
ship rights for Georgians and those who visit the state.
“This bill will protect the Second Amendment rights
of Georgians,” said Sen. Bo Hatchett, R-Comelia.
Ballinger’s bill passed by a 34-18 vote in the state Sen
ate Monday along party lines. It now heads back to the
Georgia House of Representatives for a final decision after
clearing that chamber by a largely party-line vote in late
February.
The gun measure comes as Democratic lawmakers
push a separate bill filed last week to require that gun sell
ers wait five weekdays before clearing firearms purchases
or face a felony charge with possible prison time for vio
lating the delay time.
The purchasing delay aims to stave off future rushed
purchases of guns by dangerous persons such as the sus
pect in the recent Atlanta-area spa shootings, 21-year-old
Robert Aaron Long, who police say bought his weapon
the same day he went on the killing spree.
Sen. Elena Parent, D-Atlanta, noting the U.S. sees
higher rates of gun violence than many other countries,
argued the reciprocity bill would add “more guns to our
over-armed and over-weaponized society.”
Gun restrictions habitually face an uphill battle in the
Republican-controlled state legislature, where the Second
Amendment’s right-to-carry rules rank high on the list of
conservative priorities to preserve.
Sen. Carden Summers, R-Cordele, pushed back on De
mocrats’ arguments that passing Ballinger’s bill would
worsen gun violence, arguing that mass shootings such as
those at the Atlanta-area spas are the result of mental-
health issues in perpetrators that go unaddressed.
“It was a hate crime, not a gun crime,” Summers said.
“Let’s not go down the gun-control road.”
