So I’ve heard this go round and round from pro gun people. Some think it’s about time. Some still want permits for concealed only, open carry is non permit. And then there are those that think this is a big ploy to get “gangsta” wannabes to be legal and allow them to start carrying, to somehow make good decisions. That when they start screwing this up for everyone, it will come tenfold back in the other direction, and we’ll get the most severe gun laws you’ve ever thought of. It’s an interesting debate. I would tend to be worried about the latter, but many of these states are red states. Not like it’s NY or Illinois.
Personally I like the permits for concealed carry. I feel a person should at least pursue knowledge of carrying a gun. At least for their own safety. Classes teach a lot more than how to shoot.

Georgia never required classes for its concealed carry license. Pay a fee, take finger prints and run your name through the criminal database.
