House gun bill still expected

Supporters of expanded gun rights in Georgia had expected to have legislation introduced in the House on Monday, but legislative leaders said Tuesday is now the target.

Rep. Rick Jasperse, R-Jasper, the main sponsor of the bill, last week said he hoped to file legislation Monday. But he was still circulating a draft for support.

The bill will not include a provision allowing 21-year-old college students to carry firearms on campus, supporters said. A provision allowing churches to decide whether to allow guns in sanctuaries is expected.
