ATLANTA (January 5, 2022) | Jason Anavitarte (R – Dallas) issued the following statement on legislation he authored, Senate Bill 319, which would permit lawful weapons carriers to carry without a permit.

“I am proud to be leading the fight to bring Constitutional Carry to Georgia. Georgians should not need a permit to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, defend themselves and protect their families. This law will keep safeguards in place to ensure that only law abiding citizens can purchase and obtain a firearm while eliminating the bureaucratic red tape that infringes on Georgians’ constitutional rights. I look forward to carrying this bill across the finish line and having it signed into law.”

Senate Bill 319 was first introduced at the end of the 2021 Legislative Session, but remains active for the 2022 Legislative Session. You can read the full text of SB 319 here: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/60797
