Gov. Kemp signs Constitutional Carry Act

The bill allows people in Georgia to carry a firearm without a license. The Georgia Senate passed the legislation on at the beginning of April.

ATLANTA - Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill allowing Georgia residents to carry handguns in public without a license or background check into law Tuesday.

The Georgia Senate passed the legislation on at the beginning of April, sending it to the governor’s desk for signature.

Kemp said the bill is a public safety measure.

"SB 319 makes sure that law-abiding Georgians — law-abiding Georgians, including out daughters and your family too — can protect themselves without having the permission of the state government. The constitution of the United States gives us that right, not the government," Kemp said Tuesday. "HB 218 ensures that individuals who are licensed to carry in another state are also authorized to do so here in Georgia."
