The reason that our Firearm License is not called a "Carry Permit", is because of the fact that Georgia Laws allows for the firearm to be carried "Concealed" or "Opened" (in plain sight).CONSTITUTION OF GEORGIA ARTICLE I. BILL OF RIGHTS Paragraph VIII "Arms, right to keep and bear. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but the General Assembly shall have power to prescribe the manner in which arms may be borne.""General Assembly shall have power to prescribe the manner in which arms may be borne." As a Firearm License holder, in The State Of Georgia, is very important to keep up with any new changes in our State Laws. This will be most beneficial on your behalf to learn about these new changes, and hopefully elect those who supports your right to act in self defense. Official Code of Georgia - Firearm Laws
(1) Code Section 16-11-126, relating to carrying a concealed weapon;
(2) Code Section 16-11-127, relating to carrying deadly weapons at public gatherings;
(3) Code Section 16-11-128, relating to carrying a pistol without a license; and
(4) Code Section 16-11-129, relating to licenses to carry pistols and revolvers generally.
(g) The board shall have the power to deny a weapons permit to any applicant who fails to provide the information and supporting documentation required by this Code section or to refuse to renew a permit upon failure to comply with such weapons proficiency recertification requirements as the board may prescribe.
(h) The board shall have the authority to order the summary suspension of any weapons permit issued under this Code section, pending proceedings for revocation or other sanction, upon finding that the public health, safety, or welfare imperatively requires such emergency action, which finding shall be incorporated in its order.
(i) The board shall have the same power and authority to deny and sanction weapons permits under this Code section as that enumerated in Code Section 43-38-11, based on the same grounds as those enumerated in that Code section.
(j) A weapons permit issued under this Code section to any person whose license is suspended pursuant to subsection (f) of Code Section 43-38-6 or whose registration is suspended pursuant to subsection (g) of Code Section 43-38-7 shall be suspended at the same time as the suspension of the license or registration without a prior hearing as required in Code Section 43-38-11. A weapons permit shall be restored to a person upon the restoration of the person's license or registration.

SAMPLE FORM
PROBATE COURT OF CLAYTON COUNTY
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL
FIREARMS LICENSE APPLICANTS
CONCERNING CERTAIN FEDERAL LAWS
FEDERAL PROHIBITION FORM
A list of Prohibited Persons containing a brief description of the prohibited categories under federal law has been displayed to you, and you have been asked to read it in its entirety. If you are a person prohibited under federal law from receiving a firearms license, a license may not be issued to you.
If information establishing a prohibition is obtained by the Court after the application is submitted, there will be no refund of the fees collected. If you believe that you might fall within a prohibited category, it is suggested that you not make application until you determine whether the prohibition applies to you or your situation. If you have any questions about your legal rights or whether the list and descriptions apply to you, it is suggested that you consult with an attorney. The Probate Court staff may not advise you on your legal rights, nor may they determine for you whether a particular prohibition applies to you or your circumstances.
The application process will involve a criminal records check, including a NICS check. If a report is received back by the Court from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and/or The Georgia Bureau of Investigation listed you as a Prohibited Person, this Court will not issue a license. It will be your responsibility to seek the removal of the prohibition from your record. Even if you believe that the prohibition does not apply to you or that the circumstances resulting in the prohibition fail to meet the requirements of federal law, this Court cannot accept your position and must not issue a license until the prohibition is removed and a subsequent report, without the prohibition, is obtained.
Therefore, as a condition to the processing of your application, you must complete and sign under oath the following , in addition to the usual Georgia Application for Firearm License:
Initial
