• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

If OC is illegal in GA then I should be in jail many, many times over.

I've OC'ed all over the state and only had one negative experience (which is posted here, somewhere)

Well, what about this?

§ 16-11-130.Exemptions from Code Sections 16-11-126 through 16-11-128 (a)Code Sections 16-11-126 through 16-11-128 shall not apply to or affect any of the following persons if such persons are employed in the offices listed below or when authorized by federal or state law, regulations, or order:

(3)Persons in the military service of the state or of the United States



Therefore, anyone in the military can open carry without a license. The statute has no qualification stating they must be "in performance of their duty" or anything like that.
