This bill would have also allowed law abiding citizens with a Ga. Firearms License to CCW in state parks in Ga.
Meredith Emerson was a law abiding Ga citizen, and was not carring a weapon while hiking in a Ga state park. She was attacked, kidnapped, and held prisoner for 3 days by a man in his 60s.
She was taken to a remote wooded area, tied to a tree, then beaten to death with a tire tool. Then the kidnapper cut her head off.
It is time to allow Ga. citizens the choice to protect themselves in their home state, especially in the public areas we pay for every day in taxes taken from us by the state.
Meredith Emerson SHOULD have broken the law or stayed out of the park. Do not go where there is risk of personal attacks without an escort or a firearm. This is not the nice world it was 40 years ago!
