Georgia law allows individuals who are not prohibited by law from possessing firearms to have or carry a firearm in their personal motor vehicle. Your car is considered an extension of your home.
Licensed weapon carriers can possess a firearm or weapon in a motor vehicle parked in a parking area of firearm-free areas—for example, government buildings, courthouses, places of worship, and schools. You can have your firearm so long as it is locked in the glove compartment of the vehicle, in a closed container, or locked firearms rack on the car.
The legislature has introduced a bill to allow people to carry firearms anywhere in the car, but it is not yet a law.
Georgia Gun Laws About Traveling
Georgia law prohibits anyone without a weapons carry license from boarding or attempting to board an aircraft, bus, or rail vehicle with firearms.
Firearm and ammunition owners are protected by federal law when traveling between states where firearms can be lawfully carried and where they can only be carried while unloaded and locked in the trunk.
If you plan on traveling to another state, make sure you know the laws of the states you travel to to get protection.
