What could go wrong? Now legal to carry firearms in bars, churches, libraries, schools in Georgia

[LuckyTheDog]

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) signed legislation into effect on Wednesday paving the way for registered gun owners to carry their weapons into churches, schools, libraries and bars, USA Today reported.

“Today I will sign a gun bill that heralds self-defense, personal liberties and public safety,” Deal said at a press conference announcing the signing of House Bill 60. “While we still guard against tyranny, America today cherishes this right, so that people who follow the rules can protect themselves and their families from those who don’t follow the rules.”

The bill, which critics called the “guns everywhere” bill as it made its way through the state legislature, will allow gun owners in Georgia and 28 other states to bring their weapons into public buildings that do not have metal detectors. Schools will have the option of allowing employees to carry firearms, and religious institutions will have the same option on letting guns inside their buildings. It was passed with bipartisan support last month.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Deal responded to criticism of the bill by emphasizing that it covered “people who have their fingerprints taken, their backgrounds checked and they have been licensed to carry a weapon.”

1. It is a sickness.

There is something wrong with the way people obsessed with guns see the world. Negativity and paranoia has taken over their souls.

5. And IMO a lot of it can be attributed to the non-stop hate radio, TV and internet web sites. Some

are fed with this paranoid bullshit by paranoid hate shock-jocks 7x24 working hard to destroy this county and make some cash in the process.

2. I hear that its required that gun toters drink tequilla while packing in bars.

And that students as young as 13 will be allowed to carry pistols as long as they have mechanical safeties.

7. In Texas

a CHL holder cannot drink when they carry in a bar.

4. It is! It's a weird F'en place, weirder by the day and accelerating on the path to

Idiocracy ... and in fact, are probably already in the land of Idiocracy. I drive cross country through GA sometimes, for one example, and some spots I stop for gas and a quick meal are sometimes pretty weird. I try to stop only in the major cities. There are a number of places I drive through that are similar, some in supposedly liberal states.

6. Reality will bite them in the ass

Statistically the chances of accidental deaths, shootings resulting in long court cases, and a rise in self inflicted wounds will become obvious. Darwin will have the final say.
