Georgia: Bill filed to protect gun rights during an emergency

[Gunco]

State Sen. Preston Smith (R Rome) filed Senate Bill 342 today to protect legally carrying citizens' gun rights during a state of emergency. Currently, state law grants extraordinary powers to a Georgia governor to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms during an emergency. Sen. Smith's bill would repeal that existing statute to remove a governor's power to limit gun rights during an emergency.
