Airports Ban on Guns Is Disputed in Atlanta

A decision by Georgia legislators to relax the states gun laws has led to a dispute over whether people can legally carry concealed firearms in the nations busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International.

A Georgia gun rights group filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Atlanta on Tuesday after airport officials said they would continue to enforce a ban on concealed weapons in the terminal despite the changes to the state law. The changes, which were approved by the Georgia legislature in the spring and took effect on Tuesday, relax the states prohibition on carrying weapons on public transportation and in some other areas, including restaurants serving alcohol.
