Bill looks to expand right to carry guns in Ga. | www.wsbtv.com

ATLANTA — The right to carry a gun would be expanded under a proposal from Georgia lawmakers.

Republican state Rep. Rick Jasperse submitted legislation Tuesday that would allow people with a government-issued license to carry guns to take their weapons into churches if religious leaders allow it. Churches are now off-limits.

The bill would also allow school districts to decide whether to arm an employee. GOP lawmakers have said they hope the provision will deter school attacks.
