Pro-gun group comes out against Georgia’s new gun law

[GodFearinGunTotin]

“Smith said that, although they believe in the right to carry, they don’t agree wholeheartedly with the new act signed by Kemp. The “Constitutional Carry” law lets most people carry a gun without a permit.

Smith said he has concerns.

“My fear is that you’ll have a lot more people buying guns that aren’t trained in the details of the gun. That’s my biggest fear,” he said.”

While training is a good thing these schmucks that throw up resistance and use or push mandatory training on 2A issues are silly. They want to mandate their money that’s all it is.

Training or at least a written test is required to obtain a driver’s license and we see how well that works with non proficient drivers but hey they passed a state minimum standard!

Here we go again...

Existing Georgia statutes for acquiring a firearm license don't include any kind of training requirement:

Apply for a Firearms License

Eligible Georgians may apply for a Weapons Carry License to carry out of state.

georgia.gov

As with Indiana, you only have to be of age, a US citizen and Georgia resident, and eligible to carry (i.e. not prohibited). So, permitless carry doesn't change status quo in any way whatsoever regarding training.

Not a good look for Philip Smith of the National African American Gun Association. Of course, he's from California. But, apparently he's lived in Atlanta for 20 years, so he really has no excuse whatsoever for knowing Georgia statute. (What's even scarier is that he claims that NAAGA teaches gun safety and laws.)

Someone please enlighten me.
Which other Natural, God given rights do you need training, or a permit, to exercise?

Right of public assembly often (not always) requires a “parade permit”. You have to have the government’s permission to sue them. I’m sure there are others, but those two come to mind immediately.

And while I have no idea how we would implement it, the PRIVILEGE of voting (not a God-given right) should be subject to proving you, a citizen, have at least a basic understanding of US Civics.

Blessings,
Bill

I've always said that we (gun owners) are our own worst enemy. Well, until the Bidiot took office of course...

Um, yeah, then let's make firearms training an above the line tax deduction.

BTW, did Joe-juh have a training requirement?

EDIT: It did not. Thanks, Chip!

Hardly, dude. Misguided maybe, maybe media confusion caused misreporting.

We have INGO members that are members. I was a member of the Redtails Club until Covid.

It is a shame that the majority culture (gun culture) has not done more to reach out to African-Americans but that is a subject for another thread.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the right is for the public to peaceably assemble. Private land? Gub'mint can't say squat.
Public parks or blocking traffic in the streets....safety concerns call for a little advance notice, thus the "permit".

Speaking "politically correctly" is not required to exercise the right......as originally conceived.
It's only as a sop to "tender sensibilities", or attempt to obfuscate the true meaning of the message, that it came to the fore.

It is such a common occurrence now (often, during Indiana's fight for permitless carry) that it was the first thing I looked up.

Fudd: "Oh, noes! People without permits will be carrying guns without getting trained!!!11!1!"

Narrator: "People were not required to get training as a prerequisite for the permit, anyway."

When people used the training or the ISP Superintendent used the “we won’t know who’s criminals” argument to be against permitless carry all I could think was WOW.

It’s amazing Vermont has had permitless carry for decades and yet there is no unwarranted shootings in the streets and the Police there seem to be able to find criminals (usually it’s the people doing criminal stuff what use to be called a clue in Police work)

Seems many people's arguments have problems with being incorrect, and not researched.

 

[Gabriel]

I support the 2nd Amendment, but...

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Phil Smith of NAGAA announced that the TV station screwed up his statement.

 

[actaeon277]

Which is why, IF you get interviewed by the media, have someone on "your" side record it.
