Thanks for the clarification about Georgia law. In regards to my point 3 in my original post, if the police approach you because you printed or are OC, they would have reason for a investigatory stop, Terry frisk. My point was why would they arrest and or seize the weapon if they can verify the legal status of someone who forgot to have their firearms license on them?
