On Tuesday, April 12, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia signed SB319, the Constitutional Carry (permitless carry) bill. The bill became effective when the Governor signed the bill.
Second Amendment supporters have been attempting to pass Constitutional Carry through the Georgia legislature for years. Governor Kemp pledged support for the measure in 2018. From fox5 atlanta.com:
Kemp said the bill is a public safety measure.
“SB 319 makes sure that law-abiding Georgians — law-abiding Georgians, including out daughters and your family too — can protect themselves without having the permission of the state government. The constitution of the United States gives us that right, not the government,” Kemp said Tuesday. “HB 218 ensures that individuals who are licensed to carry in another state are also authorized to do so here in Georgia.”
The governor initially promised the measure when he first ran for governor in 2018, but little was done to advance it. It’s been revived now that Kemp faces opposition in this year’s primary from former U.S. Republican Sen. David Perdue and others. Longtime proponents of gun rights have credited Kemp’s advocacy for moving the issue forward.
In 2022 Governor Kemp is in a tight primary race, in part because of his lack of performance during the 2020 elections. More and more evidence is accumulating of significant irregularities during the election in Georgia, which was a pivotal state in the presidential election.
Governor Kemp vigorously championed Constitutional Carry in Georgia during his primary campaign. The large signing ceremony for the bill was carried out in front of Gable Sporting Goods. Gable Sporting Goods is a long-established sporting goods store in Douglas, Georgia, which is in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
With Governor Kemp’s signature, Georgia becomes the fourth state to pass Constitutional Carry (permitless carry) in 2022,

I’m a bit dense on this subject so forgive...What does this law allow? Canceled? Open? Anything else I missed?
Thanks...
It means all of the above unless you are prohibited from possession of a gun
Good for Georgia. How does that affect residents of other states who are visiting?
I am still planning to keep my CCL, because I do travel to the other 25 states.
The second amendment forbids prohibiting possession of a gun, if I read it right. Anyone who can't be trusted to be armed should not be running around loose.
They will have the same right. However, if a Georgian wants to carry in another state that does not have constitutional carry they will still a GA permit. Allowing, of course, that the other state recognizes GAs permit.
Kemp can not be trusted.
the constitution does not allow any infringements.
so is it truly permitless carry? released felons should have their rights reinstated then?
I believe Kemp like DeWhine in Ohio only signed this to cover their collective RINO asses. Both made campaign promises and now facing reelection, they had to swallow this pill if they are to have any chance to win reelection.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, the Constitution recognizes that right that was God given.
It’s amazing how Kemp had his “come to Jesus” moment on this issue in the face of Donald Trump backing a primary challenger in next month’s election.
I say thank Donald Trump for this law not Brian Kemp.
Good deal it keeps the other half in line.
btt
TN is permitless, same laws as permits apply though.
Kemp did not do this, his tough primary fight with David Perdue did it.
Competition is good, it lifts all boats.
Have you noticed the constant media coverage of True The Vote's findings? Right...neither have I.
The dominant media are co-conspirators in the rigged election.
Where are all the FReeper “experts” telling us how bad this is without requiring training?
