ATLANTA, Georgia (PNN) - April 25, 2014 - Sweeping changes regarding gun laws in two states this week gain the approval of Second Amendment supporters.
In Georgia, Governor Nathan Deal signed legislation into law that will allow guns to be carried into bars, churches and government buildings. Objections from bar owners and congregations would override the legislation.
The Safe Carry Protection Act takes effect July 1, 2014.
The National Rifle Association calls it the “most comprehensive pro-gun bill in Georgia state history.”
In Kansas, Governor Sam Brownback signed into law legislation that makes it legal statewide to openly carry firearms.
At the same time, the legislation strips local governments of their gun-regulating powers. Currently, each Kansas community has the right to set their own regulations.
The change takes effect July 1, 2014.
