Starting tomorrow, the law opponents have referred to as the “guns everywhere” bill goes into effect. Among other things, the law allows permitted gun holders to carry firearms in bars, some churches and government buildings without security.

One of the major changes will affect Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson-International Airport. Under the law, guns will still be prohibited in airport security lines, but if you accidentally carry one into a line and have a weapons carry license you won’t be arrested. However, airport spokesman Reese McCranie says you could still face a Transportation Security Administration fine.

“TSA can impose civil penalties of up to $11,000. This should act as a deterrent for people who are thinking about bringing weapons through a security checkpoint.”

The law will also allow churches to decide whether to allow them on their property. But some denominations are not taking any chances. Atlanta Episcopal Bishop Robert Wright recently spoke with WABE after issuing a gun ban for churches in his diocese.

“The culture is moving in a sort of be suspicious arm yourself to the teeth against neighbor, and we’re trying to articulate as followers of Jesus another way to be.”

But the Georgia Baptist Convention is leaving the matter up to individual churches.

Law enforcement officials also say the bill means big changes for them. The legislation says a person carrying a weapon shall not be subject to detention for the sole purpose of investigating whether such a person has a weapons carry license. That concerns Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills.

“If we detain that person, and find out that weapon that they’re carrying was used in three different homicides later on, we’re not going to be able to use that as evidence against them. It is the most absurd thing I have ever heard of. That part of it is going to have some terrible consequences.”

However, Sills says he plans to follow the new law.

But Jerry Henry with GeorgiaCarry.Org recently told WABE, under current law, police should not be able to ask anyone to see their gun license without probable cause.

“A policeman has to see you do something wrong to check to see if you have a license. There are several Supreme Court cases that have followed that up.”

The bill will also allow those with gun permits to enter bars with a firearm. However, legal experts say a bar owner can ask anyone carrying a gun to leave their establishment.

Opponents fear the law will create safety issues and cause more deaths. Meanwhile, supporters say it strengthens Georgians’ Second Amendment rights and gives added protections to those who have played by the rules.
