All right, boys, we just have to get from now until then: the Georgia Legislature's both houses have set the 'without a day' adjournment that marks the end of the 40 day term. Keep watch on them until that day, and we'll be free for a year.
Medical marijuana still seems to have a good chance of being passed in some form this year. Casinos, not so much, but they're still alive.
There's a semi-new gun bill, too: campus carry is back for another try. Georgia's universities are pretty set against it, though, and it'll have a tough fight getting through the Leg in the teeth of opposition from the administrations and police departments of all our major colleges. They can't stop a school shooting in a "gun free zone," but those are statistically rare. From day to day, they want the right to run you off campus (or into jail) if they catch you with a gun.
Heh, Georgia universities. That wouldn't happen to be the two in Atlanta would it leading the confluence gap?
ReplyDeleteGood thing there are ways to project lethal force without a firearm. Since those universities will have a hard time detecting "weapons" like that, and disarming such would prove... problematic.
ReplyDeleteThere are far more than two universities in Atlanta. I assume you mean to reference the two largest, Georgia Tech and Georgia State.
