Georgia's Governor signed into law, the right for a registered gun owner to carry their weapon on public transportation, and into any restaurant, including those that serve alcohol. There are restrictions, and it will probably be challenged in the courts, but the public will ultimately be safer.
There are several cases in the U S where, had the owner of a handgun had their weapon, they could have stopped a mass killing. One at a McDonalds. One at a middle school. I don't remember the names or places but basically at the Mickey D's a daughter had to watch her mother and father be gunned down because they had left their handgun in the car in the parking lot, which was the requirement of the law. The middle school, the vice principle had to run a quarter mile to retrieve his gun, and then a quarter mile back, when a deranged student started indiscriminately shooting in the school. That was the requirement of the law at that time.
At a shopping mall that had a sign posted at the entrance, "This is a gun free zone" The gunman killed 6 patrons of the mall before the security force responded. Of course they didn't have weapons and had to wait on the police to respond.
There are many stories of this type. Unfortunately the media fail to report them, or worse they report only the parts they want to promote their agenda.
