Weapons (Guns) At Atlanta's Airport

"Atlanta lifts airport unsecured area gun ban"

“The mayor doesn't like it, but the city is no longer stopping people with legal weapon permits from carrying their weapons into Hartsfield-Jackson airport,” Atlanta’s NBC 11Alive.com reports:

The city quietly changed its enforcement after attorneys re-read a state law enacted this year. SB 308 eases restrictions on weapons in public places.

Mayor Kasim Reed doesn’t like it one bit

.......The 11 Alive News report is the only report that was made about allowing Firearms at the Airport, after a Federal Judge overruled our State Laws.

"Proposed bill adds felony element to guns at airport"

The proposed bill makes it a felony to bring a firearm to the airport for the purpose of committing a felony.

Clayton County Solicitor General Tasha Mosley :

" People with carry permits can bring a firearm into the public areas of the airport."

...My own opinion on this :

......Without having the Federal Judge's order, to overturn his previous decision, on paper, I wouldn't trust the proof that I have from these two News Reports. The risk would be too high, with the attitudes of The City of Atlanta and the court systems.

.....If anyone calls me to pick them up, at the airport, I always tell them to catch a taxi to a nearby restaurant, and I will pick them up there.
