Gun bill headed to conference committee
Lawmakers’ efforts to let Georgians carry concealed weapons in more places went to conference committee Monday.
Three members each from the House and Senate have been appointed to work out a deal on Senate Bill 101 before the state Legislature ends its annual session Thursday.
SB 101 was amended and passed Friday by the House. The changes would allow churches to decide whether the holders of concealed-weapon permits may bring weapons into sanctuaries and would allow guns on most areas of public college campuses.
The measure is now much more sweeping than when it passed the Senate earlier this month.
