So Then, How Much Does Georgia Despise The 2nd Amendment...

Plenty.

"A 56-year-old Newnan man carried a pistol into the Wal-Mart discount store on Bullsboro Drive on May 29, according to Newnan Police incident reports.

A witness reported that a male wearing a black vest, black pants and black boots had taken a pistol from his car and tucked it into his pocket, according to the report by Officer Gregory Vansant.

Vansant and detectives Bobby Strozier and Brent Blankenship of the Newnan Police Department were dispatched to the scene. Kenneth S. Wieda was approached by the officers in the electronics department, Vansant said. Wieda complied with Blankenship's commands to stop what he was doing and submit to questioning, but then he reached for his waistband, said Vansant.

Vansant and Strozier aided Blankenship in removing the pistol from Wieda's possession and escorted him out of the store, according to the report.

Wieda's firearms license was located in his wallet, but he was arrested for carrying a deadly weapon at a public gathering and transported to the Coweta County Jail, the officer said."

A Wal-Mart is NOT a public gathering, but guess what? Since sections of Georgia are so anti-gun, police are permitted to make such ridiculous charges...charges that won't stick, of course...merely to harass lawful gun owners. Still isn't as bad as Texas, where all an officer need do is report that HE saw a bulge and write you up for "brandishing", and it's a pity that Texans continue to prattle on and on about the Great State of Texas while voting into office one gun grabber after another. Are they simply THAT stupid and don't KNOW we're ashamed of them?

Bottom line? Be VERY careful in Georgia. Mr. Wieda will get his gun back, and all charges dropped, but it's going to cost him and that's part of the deal. Make gun ownership so expensive and the weak will shy away from them. And, be more than careful in Texas. Businesses can place a sign on the door prohibiting your 2nd Amendment rights and it's a high misdemeanor if you're caught with an otherwise legal gun on their premises.

And still they brag. Boggles the mind. Boggles.

And, just for comparison to a place where a man can live, otherwise known as the Anti-Texas:

"No person (public or private) shall knowingly and willfully keep or cause to be kept any electronic list, record, or registry of privately owned firearms or any electronic list, record, or registry of the owners of those firearms."

When Florida enacted that law back in 2004, gun manufacturers had to change how they handled warranty work, because to keep an electronic registry of what gun belonged to whom was now against the law. When they complained, as all businesses will do when faced with red tape, they were told to shut up and make handwritten entries, but ONLY for warranty purposes, only in original form so no copy machines thank you, and to share such information with NO ONE but the owners of the firearms in question.

Yes. Some folks DO take the Constitution rather seriously.
