answer:Well, I live in Georgia, so there’s no escape. To answer your second question: NO – tourism was not taken into account. This was propelled by the right wing legislators following the conservative line. There might have been one small mention of tourism, but nothing of significance. Once the republican legislature gets something like this going, it’s like feeding red meat to a hungry lion. I was out to dinner last night—I didn’t see anyone carrying any firearms. But no surprise, the law is too new. If I go to see fireworks tomorrow down in Norcross, I wonder how many folks will be carrying. My guess is that except for a few rowdy assholes, not much will really change.
