I think it’s cool to carry openly in Georgia, too. Obviously, it should be. It is legal. I don’t think you can carry a weapon openly in certain environments, same as w/ a concealed permit.
I am less certain of the wisdom, if not legality, of a minor carrying a weapon under the same circumstances in which an adult can. A 14 year old walking around town with a rifle is a little scary. Maybe I am missing something. In the woods, hunting, yeah. On a subway, I might avoid the yout.

I agree. And it would certainly seem to expose the parents to a great deal of liability should an incident take place.

Not me. I want to be standing right beside the young fella. If he makes the wrong move, I’ll either disarm or kill him before he can kill anyone else but if he’s got the proper safety attitude regarding firearms, I might just buy his next box of ammo.

I’d be more worried that the kid doesn’t have what it takes to prevent a thug from taking it from him and killing him with it.

RE: Ga. As I understand it when CCW was made law open carry was made illegal.

Prior to then open carry was the law, a sensible one I believe.

[tet68]

Now on an obscure note, if, IF you’re FISHING in Ga. you are allowed to open carry.
Isn’t that strange?

My 13 year old daughter is a “Master sharp-shooter” recognized by the Junior NRA. She has gone through all the safety classes and procedures. She has proven that she is a responsible enough person to possess and use a gun (rifle). She shoots my Ruger .45, Astra 9mm and .25 semi, and her .22 single shot rifle

My 8 year old son knows how to shoot a .25 semi and a .22 single shot rifle. He’s quite good with them too! He has shot my .45 and 9mm but only with my help as he has Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis which can affect his hands.

Both of them have gone through the Eddie Eagle program. They know gun safety and have respect for firearms.
