中出少妇视频 System Issues Statement Supporting Current Georgia Law on Firearms

Atlanta — January 27, 2010

During a hearing on HB615 at the state capitol today held by the House Judiciary Committee (non-civil), chaired by Rep. Ed Setzler, 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia (中出少妇视频) officials introduced into the record a statement by Board of Regents Chairman Robert F. Hatcher, Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr., and the 35 institutional presidents, supporting current Georgia law, which, with limited exceptions, prohibits the possession of firearms on college and university campuses. The proposed legislation in HB615 would allow individuals to carry firearms on college campuses, among other changes to current Georgia law relating to firearms possession.

The statement reads in part: 中出少妇视频淲e believe that current Georgia law, which creates school safety zones where firearms are not permitted, is very clear and has served the students, faculty, and staff of the 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia well. We are deeply concerned about proposed legislation that would permit firearms on our campuses; in our classrooms, residence halls, fraternity houses, student centers, and parking lots; and at our athletic and other public events. We do not think this promotes a safe learning environment for our students or is in the best interest of the state or of the 中出少妇视频 System.中出少妇视频
