Georgia is not a traditional open carry state. However, open carry IS legal with a Georgia permit. It is also worthy of note that you MAY openly carry a firearm without a permit in a motor vehicle.
No. While Federal law does not consider a true antique, such as a muzzle loader or pre-1899 gun to legally BE a firearm, Georgia STATE law does not make that distinction, and DOES prohibit possession of those by a convicted felon. You should contact the Georgia State Police for addition information.
That depends on the laws of your state.
No. If you are buying a firearm from a dealer, this check is regulated by Federal law. A permit to carry (usually to carry a concealed firearm) is regulated by State law. That process varies from state to state.
Yes, you may carry a firearm in your vehicle. Laws on the manner in which they are to be transported vary from state to state. If you do not know the laws for transporting a firearm by vehicle in your home state, I would recommend you send an email to your state police, and, when they reply, follow the given instructions. Additionally, print their response out, and carry it with you when you're transporting your firearm.
Yes, subject to State and Federal law.
No. Never. Not just in Georgia, but in any state.
