Grady Co. sticking to guns on park gun ban

[SecularMotion]

GRADY COUNTY, GA (WALB) -Grady County Commissioners are saying no to firearms at Barber Park.

County leaders are standing by their decision that flies in the face of a recently passed state law. When you drive through the gates into Barber park, county leaders say you'll have to leave your guns at home.

"We just don't believe that's necessary, so by a vote of 5 to 0 the commission voted not to allow firearms, at our recreation facility," said commission chairman T. D. David.

The decision comes after the Georgia General Assembly passed and Governor Deal signed a law that allows guns to be carried into bars, churches and some government buildings but the David says it's just not the right choice for his county.

1. I'm sure they will be hearing from some lawyers very soon.

If I lived in Grady Coutny, I would be upset if they start spending thousands to fight a lawsuit they won't win instead of improving the quality of life for its citizens.

4. They're going to lose,

know why? Because GA has a pre-emption law.
Know what that means? Only the state lawmakers can set firearm policy.
It's too bad that the good people of Grady County will be footing the bill for this lost cause.

5. Can Turner Field ban guns?

If only the state can make gun laws.

6. I may be wrong, but I believe they can.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Turner Field a privately owned entity?
If so, then, yes, they can restrict the carrying of firearms.
