Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Georgia law allows
guns in some schools, bars, churches
Nothing seems to
be enough to stop expanding the right and areas that one can legally carry
firearms in America. Now a half million gun permit holders in the state of
Georgia, roughly five percent of the state’s population, are allowed to bring
in areas where others don’t, such as airports, churches, bars, government
buildings and even schools. The bill was supported by twice as many law makers as
the opponents both in the House and in the Senate of the state.
Supporters of the law
say it is their right to protect themselves and their families. They also say
those who are permitted to purchase, own and carry guns have passed a
background check. There are already more such gun license holders in the state without
training how or when to shoot a firearm than law enforcement officers in the
state. In other words, more guns could be carried by ordinary citizens than
officers in public or busy places. So how many guns will there be in the world
busiest airport, Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport? If someone
fires, how many people will react and pulled out their guns? How will they find
who is the shooter and who are the good guys trying to protect themselves?
Smoking is
prohibited but guns are permitted in public places and properties in Georgia.
Enjoy reading and learning
about the latest gun law in a southern state of America.
