On January 31, the Georgia House of Representatives passed House Bill 89 with the Bearden amendment by a vote of 111 to 58.
The bill would allow Georgians to carry guns at bus stops, churches, and even restaurants that serve alcohol:
- further allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry in recreational areas, wildlife management areas, and public transportation;
- allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry in restaurants; and
- creating a stricter time line for various stages of the concealed carry license application process.
The bill now needs approval from the Senate.
