Georgia recently became the most gun-friendly state in the country when a piece of legislation became law that allows people to take guns into schools, bars and churches.

Governor Nathan Deal recently signed the bill, officially allowing licensed gun owners in the Peach State to carry their weapons everywhere in the state, except the Capitol Building. So if you enter a church, bar, school, or even Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, there are likely to be people carrying guns around you. The law, called the Safe Carry Protection Act of 2014, allows people to carry almost everywhere, but also permits local businesses to decide whether they want to allow guns on their property.

The most debated part of this legislation is that which involves guns inside schools. Even if a school decides to choose not to allow guns inside campus, there are likely to be bitter and very acrimonious debates and lawsuits involving the issue of guns in classrooms.
