Critics say Georgia stand-your-ground gun law 'recipe for unnecessary killing'

theguardian.com - A new Georgia gun law will extend the state's stand-your-ground legislation to protect convicted felons who kill using illegal guns, under what one criminal law expert calls a "recipe for unnecessary killing".

The bill allows people who have a weapons permit to bring loaded handguns into bars and nightclubs – as long as they do not drink alcohol. It also authorises school boards to appoint staff to carry firearms on campus, forces public housing authorities to allow guns in their premises and eliminates criminal charges for those found with guns at airport security.The bill allows people who have a weapons permit to bring loaded handguns into bars and nightclubs – as long as they do not drink alcohol.
