As our British cousins would sign:

Out Here
Rodney G. Graves

Ceterum censeo Parthia esse delendam
Latin: “Furthermore, Parthia (Persia aka modern day Iran) should be destroyed.”

HB89, a Georgia bill that originally focused on allowing employees to keep guns in vehicles parked on corporate parking lots…

That’s a shame. It should be the property owner’s decision.

Anyone who knows anything about the Atlanta “Urinal-Constipation” knows that the use of the phrase “slipped through the legislature” is no accident itself.  Lost amidst the liberal wailing and gnashing of teeth is the fact that one would still have to obtain a concealed carry permit anyway.  Those more ethically-challenged individuals inclined not to do so are already “packin’” anyway.

Talk to any law enforcement, probation or parole officer in the Atlanta metro area and you’ll quickly find out that they are inundated with gang violence and gun crimes against law-abiding citizens already.

This is a good piece of legislation that is long, long overdue.  Governor Perdue needs to sign it into law, and be proud to have done so.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

I’m confused.  If the bill was intended for the benefit of Restaurant and tavern owners, cab and bus drivers, and they don’t want it… then what’s the point of the bill?

"Here lies, in honored glory, an American soldier, known but to God.”

“As a conservative, I will not be overly enthusiastic about voting for John McCain on November 4 - but I will be sprinting to the polling place to do so!”
Matthew May, conservative commentator, The American Spectator

PP, the Bill was meant to reaffirm the Right To Keep And Bear Arms. Bus drivers, bar employees, and cabbies simply benefit from the attendant drop in crime rates that accompanies citizens being armed. That is why the Urinal-Constipation is against it. Can’t have people protecting themselves from criminals, that is unfair to criminals.

Una Salus Victus Nullam Sperare Salutem

This bill would reaffirm the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves from criminals who are already armed, illegal, but undeterred.  This really is an anti-liberal bill and should be signed into law.  We heard all the crying and complaining ten years ago when Florida first passed their Castle Defense law.
No problems ten years later.  This will validate our Second Amendment rights.
It will, however make a clear distinction between good citizens and bad ones.
This is the real rub for liberals.  They think all people are equal.  They are, but their behaviors are not the same, not equal, nor good.

Communism is evil

Exactly why should an employer be allowed to effectively disarm their employees on their commute?  And why should public transit be a free fire zone?

Minnesota allows carry on transit, and prohibits parking lot operators from banning firearms in cars.  We’ve had no problems.  Moreover, I would have to guess that Georgia also has a very low threshold for “carrying while intoxicated"--Minnesota’s is .04%, or about one or two beers for the average adult male.

You should have seen the look on my instructor’s face when he got to the part of class where alcohol and guns was discussed; he rolled his eyes, sighed, and said “you know, we shouldn’t even have to mention this....”
