I have a FL Concealed Carry Permit and am vacationing in GA this weekend where can I and where can't I carry? Here in FL the list of places you CAN'T carry is very long - - no state or federal parks, no banks, no . . . . well you get the idea. Does GA have similar restrictions?
This is the second time I have seen you list BANKS as a place you are prohibited from carrying in Florida.
Because I'm such a nice guy, I'm going to here take the trouble of reproducing, verbatim, the section of the Florida Statutes that pertains directly to where a licensee may not carry a concealed weapon by law (This comes directly out of the pamphlet titled CHAPTER 790, FLORIDA STATUTES Weapons and Firearms Tentative Compilation, Pending Final Revision In Florida Statutes by Statutory Revision. It's what they sent me recently after my permit was renewed, intended as a guide for permittees. I don't know why they still call it "tentative," as I'm pretty sure this IS the law at this point.):
790.06
(12) No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm into any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05; any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station; any detention facility, prison, or jail; any courthouse; any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom; any polling place; any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district; any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof; any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms; any school administration building; any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose; any elementary or secondary school facility; any career center; any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile; inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; or any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law. Any person who willfully violates any provision of this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
PLEASE CITE THE SECTION OF THE FLORIDA STATUTE TO WHICH YOU ARE REFERRING when you say that we are prohibited from carrying in banks, or grant that we are not so prohibited.
Please don't spread information if it is not accurate. It's bad enough we have to remember the places where we
really can't carry.
