well-said and I agree! Education over restriction of rights, always!
I don't know if you've heard about the situation in GA. A new state law just went into effect allowing guns to be carried onto public transportation (by those with permits, of course) and into other public places. The City of Atlanta, however, has come back and declared Hartsfield/Jackson Airport to be a "gun-free" zone and said the only people allowed to carry guns there will be police, FBI, etc. From what I have heard, though, the new state law is pretty specific about stating that no city gov't can make it's own provision restricting individual rights of permitted gun-owners to carry their weapons. It will be interesting to see what develops, I think. There is a court case in process, of course.
