No. There is a new state law that expands what public areas people can carry guns (now including public transportation, in parks and recreation areas and in restaurants that serve alcohol).

However, on July 1 (the same day the law went into effect), city officials declared the airport a "gun-free zone." Gun advocates filed a lawsuit to fight that. The Governor of the state said he'd like his wife to be able to have a gun when she travels.

A hearing is scheduled for August 11. Until then it is illegal to have a gun at the airport.

Hello,

Although a new law was passed for the citizens in Georgia that expands gun law rights, there is a no-guns policy at the Atlanta-Hartsfield Jackson International Airport (ATL) that does not permit any guns within the premesis of the airport unless the people carrying them are authorized personnel such as police officers, security, or government authorities.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that neither the city nor the state make the security laws concerning ANY airport. That ALL come under Federal law in the US. Homeland Security.

So no. Carrying is NOT allowed at ANY airport. Transporting a weapon in a case, unloaded, and ammo in a separate container prior to checking it through, IS allowed.

Basically, it must be checked and it must be approved by the check-in personnel and TSA. Just announce at checkin, and follow the guidlines in the link I have provided here.

Safe travels!

Dangerous weapons in airports are always illegal.

Only legal if you are registered by the state to carry a gun.
But don't even try to board an airplane - even if you have a license.

you will have to have document that approves you to do that like a document from a court unless you a cop if you are a police officer you can just pass with it legally but if you not than you will have to do allot of talking with police and stuff like that but i would just recommend not to bring any guns because technically guns are not allowed in any airport and you will be prosecuted if anyone at airport will find it so don't even try

By state law, It is legal to carry in public buildings. (this would not include behind the security check point, which is governed by Federal Law) However the city has stated they will violate your 4 th amendment rights and arrest you anyway. http://www.georgiacarry.org/ has filed a federal lawsuit against the city and the airport. But it is undecided as to the our come of the case.

If nobody sees it, otherwise you will be arrested.
Don't mind me asking but WHY do you want to carry a gun in an airport ? It's perfectly safe

But if you want to take it with you you can get special authorization by the airport and airline you're flying with but you might have to pay.

Since you don't seem to know the answer which you WOULD know if you have a CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT... then I have to assume you aren't too worried about carrying a concealed weapon and don't care if they catch you carrying one in the Airport... WHICH CAN GET YOU SHOT.

If you ever DO get a Concealed Carry Permit.. .you will have to pass a test that shows you know where, when and under what circumstances YOU CAN CARRY A GUN.

If that's true, then the US is as sick a society as some people say it is.

I hope for all you American's sake that this isn't true.

...why would you need to carry a gun to the airport.........

Tyler S

ya it became a law a while a go

Pullmyfinger

should be. we all carry where i live.

Fred C

Sure, and then you give it to them to trash because it is too late to check it through with your luggage. Dumb, real dumb idea.
Who would be insane enough to wear a gun when they can't board the plane with it anyway?

hi you
correct me if i am wrong by law the USA has what we call here the law the "right to bear arms" but like you pointed out in your question if you want to broad a flight you cant bring a gun pass the security check point or what they say at airports the frisk him area so where ever you haeredd that from could be very must right in what they said

funnybunny083

I would hope not.
That's a terrorist attack waiting to happen!!!

kristeylofanda

no ! absolutely not! even if you have a gun up to the security check point you could still get arrested so i suggest not!

THE MIGHTY RA

It seems a waste of time for the rest of the world to be worrying about terrorists if you can do that in your airports.

Thumbs down the truth or what, so you shouldnt be allowed to take a gun into an airport, you halfwits!

Â§â™¥â„œedâ„œosesâ™¥Â§

YES WHY YES IT IS! And then when you get to the check point, and they find you have a GUN you also get a FREE trip to the airport 'JAIL' and searched and possible annally rapped if they decide you look like you are carrying drugs!! Try it............I dare you
