This is a little off the Appleseed message but we need to get the word out.  Perdue is still sitting on SB308(http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/sum/sb308.htm) and SB291(http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/sum/sb291.htm).  They clarify and remove some restrictions on the Georgia Firearms Licenses and are of great value to anyone interested in state-level legislation related to RTKBA.

To call:  (404) 656-1776
To email:  http://gov.georgia.gov/00/gov/contact_us/0,2657,78006749_94820188,00.html

Thanks,

I'd be interested in feedback on the following:

SB 308 apparently redefines a "long gun" to be under 18" barrel length (as opposed to the previously defined 16").

I had a friend contact me suggesting that this potentially legislates all of us (with 16" barrels) into criminals.  On the one hand, my initial reading is that this definition is simply for this piece of legislation which doesn't in itself concern restrictions (as far as I can see) on short barreled rifles.  On the other hand, I ask myself, what's with the 18" definition?

Any insight/comments?
It is certain, I think, that the best government is the one that governs least. But there is a much-neglected corollary: the best citizen is the one who least needs governing. The answer to big government is not private freedom, but private responsibility.

The problem is not Democrats.  The problem is Republicans who lack the intellectual clarity to become libertarians and libertarians who lack the physical discipline to become riflemen.  ---Kenneth Royce

Might be better asked over at georgiacarry.org - I was simply hoping to spread the word...

Perdue did sign 308 but vetoed 291.
