Concealed weapons Permit

[nastytater]

I am very seriously wanting to get my Permit so I can legally carry it concealed. My question is "When I appear,Do i Have to have a utility bill with my name on it ? Or would a Bank Draft Statement for the last 3 months with my address be enough?"

Call them and ask, but they took my SS card vs my DL and my money...but each county goes things different. Look at the georgia carry website. They've got some good info and they break it down by county

First things first. In GA it isn't a concealed weapons permit it is a Georgia Firearms License. The state gives you their permission to carry a firearm on you concealed or openly tho open carry may get you some hassle (my son and I recently were "asked" to leave a WalMart).

You have already been given the best advice which is to give the county probate court a call and see what they require. When I went they didn't ask for any proof of residency but they may have looked at the issue date on the driver license I think they asked did I still live at that address.
