| dc.description.summary | This law makes it a misdemeanor in Georgia to carry deadly weapons (like pistols or knives) at places such as courts, elections, public worship, or other public gatherings, with exceptions for law enforcement. It also requires individuals to obtain a county-issued license to carry a pistol outside their home or business, which involves meeting age requirements, posting a bond, and paying a small fee; violations of these rules are punishable as misdemeanors. | |
