Georgia state representatives have passed the “Campus Carry” bill and it has been signed by Governor Nathan Deal. Some lawmakers wanted clarification on where guns can be carried on Georgia’s campus.
University System of Georgia Chancellor Steve Wrigley recently cleared up some language in the law and how it pertains to Bulldogs football game days. Weapons are still banned from Sanford Stadium, but fans can have them out in the parking lot during tailgates.
“This exception includes stadiums, gymnasiums and similar facilities in which intercollegiate games are staged (but does not extend to so-called ‘tailgating’ areas where fans may congregate outside the gates of the sports facility),” Wrigley wrote via the Macon Telegraph.
