The Georgia legislature has passed a law allowing guns to be carried into public parks, public transportation and resturants that serve liquor. Guns will still be banned at the airport.

This is not good enough, though for Representative Tim Bearden who is challenging the restrictions agains carrying guns at the airport.

I am a second ammendment fan and the proud owner of a few weapons, but why is it that some of the pro gun advocates can never seem to let well enough alone. A restaurant owner or the owner of any private property has the right to restrict gun ownership on his or her property, and the airports who deal with major security issues have the right and the obligation to restict guns at the airports.

Every right has some basic restrictions. A free press does not allow me to libel others or scream obscenities. Freedom of religion does not allow me to commit human sacrifice, and the right to own guns does not mean I can own mortars, machine guns and flame throwers.

Such activists hurt common sense gun ownership rules.
