Georgia is a permitless concealed carry state under SB 319 (2022), allowing lawful weapons carriers to carry concealed handguns statewide subject to statutory location restrictions.
Georgia became a constitutional carry state in 2022, codified in O.C.G.A. 16-11-125.1 and related provisions. Any lawful weapons carrier (a person eligible to obtain a Georgia Weapons Carry License) may carry a concealed handgun without a permit. Permits remain available for reciprocity. State law identifies prohibited locations including courthouses, jails, polling places, government buildings with screening, and certain school zones. Local governments cannot impose additional concealed carry restrictions due to statewide preemption.
Carrying in prohibited locations or by ineligible persons may constitute a misdemeanor or felony under Title 16.
