I'll be attending a music festival in September in Center Stage on Peachtree Street. I have a handgun carry permit from Tennessee, and Georgia has reciprocal agreements with Tennessee. However, I'm looking through the Georgia carry laws, and they seem a bit confusing:
1) What does "public gathering" mean?
It says something to the effect of it being illegal to carry at sporting events or church, but what about a music festival?
2) What are the laws on bringing guns into an establishment that serves alcohol?
This festival will be serving alcohol (though I don't intend to drink). It's also directly connected to a restaurant that serves alcohol for consumption on the premises.
3) Does Georgia have a clause allowing businesses to post "no guns allowed" signs?
We do that up here in Tennessee. I might have to call Center Stage if they have a no-weapons policy.
Basically, I was wanting to keep the gun concealed and just have it for the 3/4 mile walk between the establishment and my hotel. I don't want to violate any laws though.
