I'm headed to Atlanta for a few days and will be spending a bit of time in the downtown area. I know that most southern states reconize each others CC permits but would you really carry a concealed weapon in downtown Atlanta. I've always taken it with me but haven't taken it out on my person. Just wanted to get opinions. Also, I can't find the information on which states honor what others states permits. Could someone help me out.

I guess my question really would be does the reciprocal agreements mean that a person can carry any where in GA. that they could carry in MS. What I'm trying to do is making sure I'm not going to run afoul of the law and cause myself any undue legal problems. I've looked a the GA gun laws and I don't see anything that would lead me to believe I can't carry anywhere over there that I can here.

There are several sources for this as seen in the posts above.
In addition you might try: http://legallyarmed.com
And scroll down to "TO SEE WHAT STATES HONOR ANOTHER STATES LICENSE OR PERMIT TO CARRY, CLICK ON STATE"
Or go to: http://www.usconcealedcarry.com/index.htm
There’s a big box to the right. Don’t know if you need membership to access that.
These are mostly a repeat of an earlier posting.
Take a look at “Vehicle Carry” topic in the ‘Gun Shop : Handguns’ forum. I made a posting 5/12/10, ‘Re: Reciprocity’.

I'd check Atlanta law, you know how some larger cities have different laws, or different interpretations of them than the state. Atlanta is about as liberal a city as you will find south of D.C. Carry when you can but don't risk a firearms arrest. Like Joe and others have said, google the laws.

Big question should be How Many Guns to cary!!!
Check here for current ATL Crime Stats... http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/atlanta/crime/
on a scale of Safety 1-100 (100 being safest) Atlanta is a 1
and here are some older stats on Georgia as a whole:

Atlanta is a city where I am most defintely armed while visiting. Same for Memphis. Of course, I'm armed pretty much everywhere I go, so I may not be the best example. :lol4:
