beats on hood
My brother carries a concealed weapon with him at all times as long as it it legal (not at schools, not at work).
He has had too many scary incidents in ATL.
As have we. For example, someone reared-ended us at a mall parking lot. We got out of the car to check for damage to our car. There was none. The person who hit us yelled, "Check my car." Hubby said, "You hit us, so check your own car." The person who hit us pulled out a gun, and we got the heck out of there.
On the ATL news tonight it appears that it is being considered that some college students may be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus. Why? Because there have been so many incidents of armed robbery on college campuses. Georgia Tech students are especially vulnerable due to the neighborhood it's in due to all of the aggressive residents from the halfway houses in the area and the homeless people who live under the overpasses on the connector. Also the Home Park area where many students reside is a target for crime. These rehab and homeless people are very intimidating, especially near Emory Midtown after 5 PM. So if I'm driving in that area and they approach my car when I'm stopped at a red light, I run the light if no traffic is approaching from the intersecting street. I'd rather get a ticket than die.
After the home invasion we experienced, we keep a gun in the bedroom and in the car. Even with a security system that automatically calls 911, you could be dead before the police arrive.
That being said, after attending many BCC meetings in Walton County, there are some aggressive people with strong opinions who attend those meetings. I wouldn't want them (or anyone) to be allowed to carry weapons into the meetings.
