    Southern, IN.
    I'll be driving down to GA in a few weeks.
    USA Carry shows reciprocity for LTCH in KY, TN, and GA.
    Can anyone relate any carry issues on that trek?
    Any problems in/around Atlanta?

    Cheers,
    /T

    The South has that thing about "Demon Rum" that we do not have up here. They think alcohol is a living being.

    TN, can carry in bar but not drink.

    Joejuh, can carry if no sign prohibiting carry in bar.

    I think you can carry into a restaurant that happens to also serve alcohol but I don't think you can carry into a watering hole. I'm not even sure you can carry it into the bar portion of the restaurant (but it's been awhile since I refreshed my memory).

    I highly recommend reviewing the carry laws of each state you're visiting. Signs carry the weight of the law in a lot of places, which is different than Indiana. Also, I've seen some really weird places that you can't carry in my travels. Just do a little research and you'll be fine.

    No issues, we went last year all across the deep south, even stopped by Glock inc, in Smyrna Ga, North of Atlanta for a lil N/S action. All good with his and her Glocks on board the whole time.

    I use Handgunlaw.us for my research when traveling. Jim.
    That's my go-to site. I always check it before travelling. For example, Nevada just recently kissed and made up with Arizona and now, again, recognizes their license to carry. This includes my non-resident license. Since Nevada doesn't recognize my Indiana or Florida non-resident that is important to me when we visit our son in AZ. We've been up to Hoover dam and Vegas a few times. Handgunlaw.us has also been on top the of mess in Virginia that finally got, or is getting cleaned up on reciprocity. Check the site before you travel out of state and you'll be good.

    I just checked and KY, TN and GA are all good as far as "duty to inform" none of these states require immediate inform. This is the first thing I check when going out of state and this spring will be in a couple states that do require immediate inform. If stopped for some reason the first words out of your mouth to the officer should be "I have a licence to carry a concealed weapon." Jim.
