Hi, I read many peoples post about some really restrictive gun laws around the country. I've been to more foreign countries than I've been to other states, so I was wondering how gun related things are. I worked/lived in Manhattin for a breif time, so I know about NYC. Funny though it's the only time I've been shot at (in America) and I didn't have a gun. I live in GA and I'm learning we have it pretty good here. The BATF for NFA that processes Class-3 paperwork is here in Atlanta. I know guy that works there, and he told me that there are more Class-3 firearms here than any other state. (still can't get my transfers any sooner, damit).
Georgia recently expanded our CCW law to include more places we can carry. One of the more controversial points of the CCW expansion is that we can carry in any resturant, but anyone that has a pistol on 'em doesn't consume alcohol there. That's all fine and good. However there is a clause to the law stating that if a resturant posts a sign stating "no firearms" we're not supposed to carry in there. so the Assc. of Resturant Owners is distributing printed "BAN" signs to all resturants to place in their windows. In response to that, and in recognition to the new law, a pizza place here in Atlanta (actually a block from my house) did this. They recently had a "gun-in". Anyone with a proper CCW permit was welcome last Fri night to come in for a free slice of pizza if you had your favorite handgun on your side. Of course it made all the local news, but it was just a story. I didn't notice any negative spin.
They're a Greek family owned joint. I've been there before but they just became my favorite pizza place (beside they have freakin good pies).
