We need to work on our states to allow reciprocity.
There are plenty of nice areas in the ‘burbs. Heck, the North Atlanta ‘burbs are the GA 6th, Newt’s old district. They also include Kennesaw.

The states seem to be coming along on reciprocity, but for some reason Virginia and Georgia have a hang-up. Don’t know why.
And I agree that some of Atlanta’s suburbs are quite nice. A BIL of mine used to live in one.
It’s just that I don’t know my way around enough to pick the right place to stop. And given Atlanta’s reputation one had better be darn sure of where he stops, y’know.
Not to mention up north, near me it’s as far away from the chaos that is the ATL and still be in the metro area. Most large cities are this was all over the country, Atlanta isn’t any different. Thankfully GA gun laws are friendly for law-abiding citizens interested in protecting one’s self.
To affirm FP’s comment, one with a brain knows when and where to go to avoid potential problems. MARTA past 8pm is risky, plan accordingly.
We need to work on our states to give us our rights to Constitutional Carry. Americans are getting too comfortable with begging. Get off your knees!
