Georgia Gov. Brian Campbell, a Republican, signed a bill Tuesday that removes gun owners’ licenses and background checks to carry firearms in public, drawing high praise from gun owners in the state.
Along with supporters outside the Gable Sporting Goods in Douglasville on Tuesday, the Republican governor celebrated the new law, saying it would ensure citizens’ rights are protected in public, Atlanta’s Fox 5 reported.

“SB 319 ensures that law-abiding Georgians – law-abiding Georgians, including our daughters and your family as well – can be protected without the permission of the state government. The United States Constitution gives us that right, not the government.” “HB 218 ensures that people licensed to relocate to another state are also authorized to do so here in Georgia.”

Named the “Constitutional Law of Transfer,” the new law repealed both state legislatures by early April, to high praise from supporters of the Second Amendment in the state – and across the country.
“This is not a bill that will create more crime. It allows law-abiding citizens to bring guns to Georgia without a permit,” said State Sen. Jason Anavitarte, a Republican, according to Fox 5.

Critics were quick to dismiss both new laws.
“This legislation would potentially allow individuals with a criminal record who buy firearms through private selling to legally carry a hidden, loaded firearm in our communities,” said State Assemblywoman Kimberly Alexander, a Democrat, according to the report.

The bill was also criticized by Trump-backed Keb’s opponent, former Sen. David Perdio, who welcomed the bill, but criticized Kemp for taking “four years” to sign it.
