I was walking 50 yards from my car to the monthly Free Stater meeting at Murphy's Taproom

Here in GA open carry is legal if you have a CC permit, but taking a gun concealed or open into a taproom where alcohol is served would get you arrested and your CCW invalidated. Carrying openly would probably get you arrested anyway in the Atlanta metro area, and it would probably require hiring a lawyer to get you off the hook.

We badly need a overhaul of our CCW law here, but so far we haven't been able to make much headway of that front even though we now have a Republican majority State Assembly and governor that was supposed to be on our side of the issue.

Friends of ours are planning to move to New Hampshire from Atlanta for just that reason, among others.

In New Hampshire, it's never been illegal to carry in a bar, and our decades of experience on that point puts the lie to the notion that seems to prevail everywhere else in the country that such violation of rights is "common sense."
