How to Get a Concealed Carry Permit in Georgia

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Georgia has recently passed the Constitutional Carry Act 2022, which allows qualified individuals to carry concealed firearms without obtaining a permit as long as they fulfill specific requirements and follow rules.

Georgia’s concealed carry permit laws are rather explicit, but there are still situations where people are charged with crimes involving firearms against negligent parties. You should reach out to gun rights attorneys near you if this situation arises.

This article will explore every aspect of concealed carry permit requirements and offer a comprehensive guide for individuals who are ready to embrace their right to self-defense while maintaining the strictest safety and legal requirements.

Eligibility Requirements

To successfully get a concealed firearm, you have to meet certain criteria. The Georgia concealed carry laws outline the following eligibility requirements:

  • You must be at least 21 years old to apply for a permit.
  • You shouldn’t have any felony convictions or convictions for certain misdemeanors involving drugs or violence.
  • You haven’t been declared mentally incompetent or have been involuntarily hospitalized for mental health reasons in the past five years.
  • You must be a legal resident of the United States. If you’re a Georgia resident, you should apply through the probate court in the county where you reside. Non-residents can also apply for a Georgia Weapons License if they’re employed in Georgia or own property in the state.

Required Documentation

The necessary documentation usually consists of a valid driver’s license or state-issued identification card to establish your residency in the state. You’ll need to provide proof of your US citizenship or legal residency status. It is possible to provide evidence of this by presenting a birth certificate, a passport from the United States, or a permanent resident card.

You may be asked to submit a completed application form, which can usually be downloaded from the Georgia Department of Public Safety website. You’ll likely need to provide a passport-style color photograph of yourself. Make sure the photo meets the specified requirements to avoid any delays in processing your application.

Double-check the specific document requirements with the issuing authority before submitting your application to ensure a smooth process.

Training and Certification

The training course typically covers essential topics such as firearm safety, marksmanship, laws related to concealed carry, and conflict resolution. Ensure that the course you select satisfies state requirements and is approved by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

A licensed firearms instructor must lead the training course. The instructor will provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely and responsibly carry a concealed weapon. You’ll need to demonstrate proficiency in handling a firearm during the course, as this is a requirement for obtaining your permit.

After completing the training course, you’ll receive a certificate of completion. This certificate is a document that you’ll need to submit along with your permit application.

Application Submission

Once you have completed the necessary training and obtained your certificate, gather all required documents, including your training certificate, proof of residency, a copy of your driver’s license, and the completed application form. Make sure to double-check that all the information provided is accurate and up-to-date to avoid any delays in processing.

Submit your application in person at the probate court in the county where you reside. Be prepared to pay the application fee, which varies by county but is typically around $75. The probate court will also take your fingerprints and initiate a background check. Answer all questions truthfully and disclose any relevant information to ensure a smooth application process. They patiently await approval from the probate court. Once approved, you’ll receive your concealed carry permit.

Permit Renewal and Reciprocity

Concealed carry permits are valid for five years before they need to be renewed.

To initiate the renewal process, you must submit a renewal application to the probate court in the county where you reside. It’s recommended to start the renewal process at least 90 days before your current permit expires to make sure that there’s no gap in your ability to carry concealed.

Reciprocity agreements allow permit holders from one state to carry concealed permits from another state that has a reciprocity agreement with the issuing state. Georgia has reciprocity agreements with several states, but it’s important to check the current agreements before carrying concealed in another state to guarantee compliance with their laws.

Keep in mind that reciprocity agreements can change, so staying informed about any updates is necessary to avoid any legal issues while carrying them concealed outside of Georgia.

Conclusion

Now that you have familiarized yourself with the process of obtaining a concealed carry permit in Georgia, you’re ready to take the necessary steps. With proper preparation and adherence to regulations, you can secure your permit and exercise your right to carry concealed in Georgia.
