by Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) will sign Georgia’s recently passed permitless carry bill into law on Tuesday, April 12th. He plans to do it at Gable Sporting Goods in Douglasville which is located 20 miles west of Atlanta.
I received this media advisory from Kemp’s office on Friday:
| Atlanta, GA – On Tuesday, April 12, 2022, Governor Brian P. Kemp, joined by First Lady Marty Kemp, legislators, and other special guests, will sign the Georgia Constitutional Carry Act (SB 319) into law. |
| WHO: Governor Kemp, First Lady Marty Kemp, and other state leaders WHEN: Tuesday, April 12, 2022 at 3:30 PM WHERE: Gable’s Sporting Goods, 6250 Fairburn Road, Douglasville, Georgia 30134 WHAT: Governor Kemp and other guests will provide remarks before the bill signing. RSVP: Please RSVP to Andrew Isenhour by Monday, April 11, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. |
According to Section 18 of the bill, the law goes into effect immediately upon Gov. Kemp’s signature. As of Tuesday, fully one half of all the states will have unrestricted or permitless carry.
In related news, it appears that the Nebraska Senate will bring LB773 up for a vote on Monday. That is the permitless carry bill for Nebraska which Gov. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) has pledged to sign.
