Here is the link to the contact form if parents or students want to email the governor about the gun legislation.

I think this bill would be a bigger problem at UGA then it would at Georgia Tech or even Georgia State. Georgia Tech students don’t really seem like the type to carry guns bill or no bill.

@itsv thank you. Will do that today.
Here is the latest on Governor’s MIND on this, for what that is worth!

Georgia State? Do you keep up on the news? That campus is no where near as safe as GT. I would bet that students would start carrying guns on Georgia State’s campus for safety purposes.

Update: Happy to report the governor has vetoed the campus carry bill!
But also agree with MichiganGeorgia- Ga State has not been a safe place lately- especially the library.

I like how Governor Deal quotes the 1824 charter meeting for U of Virginia. See veto number 9:
