Can I bring weapons on the campus?

“Campus Carry”
The University System of Georgia has issued guidelines on the new House Bill 280,
commonly referred to as the "campus carry" law, which are available here: http://www.usg.edu/news/release/guidelines_for_the_implementation_of_house_bill_280
Under the new law, and with a few exceptions, properly licensed individuals may carry
concealed handguns in public university classes if they are conducted in buildings
and facilities not otherwise exempt from the new law. Licensed carriers may not carry
handguns to classes in which high school students are enrolled. It is a misdemeanor
for a licensed carrier to possess a weapon in an area that is exempt under the new
law, and it will be the responsibility of those license-holders who choose to carry
handguns on campus to know the law and understand where they can go on campus while
carrying.
It is the responsibility of the student to adhere to USG Guidelines for the implementation
of House Bill 280. Failure to abide by the law may also be a violation of the University's
student code of conduct.
- Electroshock Weapons - House bill 792 was signed by Governor Deal on May 3, 2016, which added the following paragraph to O.C.G.A §16-11-127.1, permitting possession of certain electroshock devices:
“(19) Any person who is 18 years of age or older or currently enrolled in classes on the campus in question and carrying, possessing, or having under such person’s control an electroshock weapon while in or on any building or real property owned by or leased to such public technical school, vocational school, college or university or other public institution of postsecondary education; provided, however, that, if such person makes use of such electroshock weapon, such use shall be in defense of self or others. The exemption under this paragraph shall apply only to such person in regard to such electroshock weapon. As used in this paragraph, the term ‘electroshock weapon’ means any commercially available device that is powered by electrical charging units and designed exclusively to be capable of incapacitating a person by electrical charge, including, but not limited to, a stun gun or taser as defined in subsection (a) of Code 26 Section § 16-11-106.”
