The new Georgia law will allow only students age 21 and up to carry guns, just as we do here in Colorado. Also, the law in Georgia specifically excludes carrying guns into GT football games, other sporting events, dorms, frats or sororities. The Governor of Georgia has NOT signed it into law yet. There is considerable political pressure for him NOT to sign it from U of Georgia students for instance.
We have data on this type of law:
Colorado, Texas and many other states allow guns on college campuses with no increase in crime. Colorado has allowed guns for more than ten years now on our public campuses even in Boulder. Other states like Illinois or California ban guns on campus but crime is very high in those states. Clearly gun laws do not control crime rates, law enforcement does. Thus, Boston has the Boston Bombers, who maimed and killed many college students, some bad neighborhoods in Chicago near Illinois Institute of Tech and U of Chicago
have high gun deaths, New Orleans and Tulane U neighborhoods has very high violent crime because the law enforcement is less effective than Georgia cops I would assume.
Atlanta has crime, but they also have an effective police force and good record of keeping GT safe.
