A lawsuit has been filed over Georgia’s new gun law, which went into effect Tuesday. Gun rights supporters are challenging the designation that Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is a "gun-free zone". City and airport officials yesterday reiterated the airport is not for visitors to bring their firearms. Airport officials say anyone carrying a gun into the airport could be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. The new measure now law allows Georgians with carry permits to bring guns onto public transportation, restaurants with alcohol, and into state parks.
