Georgia Senate moves forward with proposed ‘constitutional carry’ gun law<\/a><\/p>\n

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTGS) \u2014\u00a0<\/span>The Georgia Senate is moving forward with legislation that would concealed-carry licensing requirements for Georgia gun owners.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, 31 of Georgia’s 56 state senators co-sponsored the bill, which, if passed, will make Georgia the 21st “constitutional carry” state in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Gary Glemboski, a retired Savannah police officer and Chief of Police at Hunter Army Airfield, said the second amendment is at the heart of this debate.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIt basically says that you have the right to defend yourself, to protect yourself from harm. The second amendment gives us the right to own something that allows us to do that. Right now, in The State of Georgia, you have to get a concealed carry license from the county that you reside in. With constitutional carry, you won\u2019t have to do that,” Glemboski explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brett Curry, a professor of political science at Georgia Southern University, said the legal debate surrounds the government\u2019s ability to limit personal rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cA right can be subject to limitations, you know, in terms of, the right to free speech isn\u2019t going to allow someone to shout \u2018fire\u2019 in a crowded theater, for example,” Curry said. However, Curry said this legislation would expand the state’s interpretation of the second amendment and would withstand a constitutional challenge. “If The Bill of Rights, including the right to bare arms, is the floor that you can\u2019t go lower than, the state, here, is not trying to go through the floor,” Curry said, “It\u2019s trying to actually ratchet up protection for the rights in question, as they see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background checks are one way that the government limits legal who can purchase a gun.<\/p>\n

If passed, this legislation would mean that prospective gun owners still have to go through a federally mandated background check prior to purchasing a firearm, but they would not have to go to their county courthouse for a second background review and licensure. Glemboski said he doesn\u2019t believe Georgia\u2019s licensing process adds to gun owner safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way I understand it- it\u2019s coming from basically the same database, the same information source, whether you\u2019re purchasing your handgun or whether you\u2019re doing a background check for a license,” Glemboski said.<\/p>\n

Glemboski, also a firearms safety instructor, said he is a strong advocate of gun safety training. While Georgia’s neighbors, Florida and South Carolina, require between eight and 16 hours of training in order to obtain a license, Georgia doesn\u2019t require any training.<\/p>\n

Glemboski said a license to carry would be more meaningful if it had training requirements. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to give a 15-year-old or a 16-year-old a diver\u2019s license without some type of driver\u2019s training,” he said. “With firearms it\u2019s the same thing, maybe even a little more serious because of the nature of what we\u2019re dealing with.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
