Guns in restaurants, public transport and more.
A year ago, Georgia approved a law allowing their handgunn carry permit holders to carry in many more places, including:
- restaurants that serve alcohol.
- public transportation vehicles.
- state parks.
Some liberals, including Atlanta's mayor, felt this measure would lead to more crime, particularly on the subways. There were petitions to have bullet-proof glass installed in the trains for the workers.
A year later, there is proof that crime is down in the public transportation areas. This article details it well:
- there has not been a single murder on a MARTA vehicle since the law took effect.
- robberies have dropped significantly since the law.
- overall crime rate per 1000 riders is down from 3.90% to 3.09% and falling in trends.
- restaurants that serve alcohol.
- public transportation vehicles.
- state parks.
