Under this rule it may not be carried on your person. Carriers aged 21 or older who qualify for permitless or licensed concealed carry may carry it concealed on their person instead.

• GeorgiaPermitted

  You do not need a license to have a handgun in your own vehicle if you are not legally barred from having one. A lawful weapons carrier may transport a handgun or long gun in any private passenger vehicle. A property owner can generally bar weapons on private property, but Georgia law makes exceptions, such as some employer parking lots, so check before relying on this.
