VICTORY: Concealed Carry Bill Dropped in the Georgia Senate

georgiasenate

On March 22, the Georgia House overwhelmingly voted with the gun lobby to approve HB 512—legislation that would, among many things, allow concealed firearms on college campuses and K-12 schools. So Andy Pelosi of GunFreeKids.org started a MoveOn Petition asking the Georgia Senate and Governor Nathan Deal to oppose this legislation. Thanks to a strong showing of public opposition to the bill, it was dropped in the Senate without coming to a vote, and Georgia’s campuses will remain free of concealed weapons.
