Can you have a gun in your home without a permit in Georgia?

Answer 1

Someone else may want to verify, but I pretty confident the answer is yes. Most U.S. states don't require any type of permit to own a gun or to keep it in your own home, and I'm pretty sure Georgia is not one of the few that do.

Answer 2

That would be dependent on your local laws and ordinances. If your locale doesn't require you to obtain a permit for purchasing a firearm, then it would be a non-issue. However, if you are required to obtain a permit to purchase or receive a firearm, or are required to obtain an ID card (such as in the state of Illinois), and have not done so, you would be in violation of the law.

Additionally, the type of firearm will be relevant in this instance. State laws will vary on the transfer of handguns, for instance. In a state which issues pistol permits (such as North Carolina), the receiving party will be required to remit a pistol permit when receiving a handgun. Some states require that ALL transfers of handguns be conducted through an FFL licensed dealer.

For NFA weapons, such as tax stamped short barreled rifles or shotguns, fully automatic weapons, anything classed as AOW (Any Other Weapon), destructive devices, etc., the recipient must obtain the proper licensing paperwork, pay the $200 transfer fee, and have the transfer conducted through an NFA licensed FFL dealer.

Also note that the legality of your possession of a firearm is also determined by whether or not you yourself may legally own a firearm, whether the firearm was legally owned previously. A firearm will not be legally owned if it is stolen, or of a type illegal to own in your locale. For example, in California, anything classed as an assault rifle was required to be registered with the state in 2000, and cannot legally sold or transferred to another resident of that state, nor can one from out of state be imported into the state by private citizens.

If you are still in doubt about the legality of your firearm, your best advice would be to speak with an attorney - preferably, one who specializes in or has experience with the firearms laws of your state and locale.
