Georgia is a relatively gun-friendly state that’s only gotten gun-friendlier in recent years.

It’s been six years since the so-called “Guns Everywhere” law made it possible for those with a permit to carry a firearm, well almost everywhere.

More recently, it became legal for students with weapons-carry licenses to carry concealed guns on campus.

So as the 2020 Georgia legislative session gets underway this week, how likely are we to see more gun legislation?

WABE’s Lisa Hagen is a reporting fellow for the Guns & America reporting collaborative. She sat down to speak to “All Things Considered” host Jim Burress about what she’s keeping her eye on.
