Georgia and Georgia Tech football runs the shotgun and now their fans can use the pistol

(JOHN ROARK)

The annual end of the college football regular season rivalry game between Georgia and Georgia Tech is usually a hot-contested shootout.

Unfortunately, it now has the potential extend to the Sanford Stadium and Bobby Dodd Stadium parking lots with the recent passage of a Georgia state law effective July 1 that would allow the carrying of concealed handguns on college campuses, with exceptions that include on-campus stadiums, arenas, gymnasiums and the like hosting intercollegiate sporting events.

The University of Georgia confirmed in an extensive press release Wednesday that individuals with valid weapons licenses will be permitted to conceal-carry outside of college football stadiums.
