Georgia: Don't Allow Guns in College Classrooms, Churches, and Bars

Stop HB 512. Do not allow weapons on university campuses, in churches, and in bars. Support funding for increased security at urban campuses instead.

Why is this important?

House Bill 512, which allows weapons on college campuses, in places of worship, and in bars, passed the Georgia House of Representatives with overwhelming support last week. As a college professor and a minister, I find this terrifying. The Georgia University System as a whole opposes this legislation, but the House supported a few students at urban campuses who feel unsafe and want to carry weapons. Georgia Senate and Governor Deal: fund increased security on these campuses. Don't endanger everyone in the most emotional and/or alcohol soaked places in the state!
