    First day of new gun law leads to arrest

    VALDOSTA — On the first day of the new Georgia Safe Carry Protection Act, a misunderstanding between two armed men in a convenience store Tuesday led to a drawn firearm and a man’s arrest.

    “Essentially, it involved one customer with a gun on his hip when a second customer entered with a gun on his hip,” said Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress.

    At approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a call regarding a customer dispute at the Enmark on the corner of Park Avenue and North Lee Street.

    A man carrying a holstered firearm entered the store to make a purchase. Another customer, also with a holstered firearm, approached him and demanded to see his identification and firearms license, according to the Valdosta Police Department report.

    The customer making demands for ID pulled his firearm from its holster but never pointed it at the other customer, who said he was not obligated to show any permits or identification.

    He demanded the man’s ID again. Undeterred by the drawn gun, the man paid for his items, left the store and called for police.

    Authorities arrested Ronald Williams, 62, on a charge of disorderly conduct, related to the pulling of a weapon inside of the store, according to the VPD. Police confiscated Williams’ weapon and took him to the Lowndes County Jail.

    The police chief said no one can demand a person to show their gun permit. Under the new law, he as police chief and his officers cannot demand to see a firearms permit, Childress said.

    “This is an example of my concern with the new gun law that people will take the law into their own hands which we will not tolerate,” Childress said.

    Two guys had guns and didn't shoot each other, yet RandomGuy felt it was important enough to post. Just seeing where his priorities are.

    It was an interesting incident where, once everybody starts wearing guns, then is going to happen where "law-abiding" people who would have simply punched each other in the nose or shouted at each other, will have instant access to deadly force.

    It also makes it really hard to identify WHO is the shooter in some mass shooting when everybody has a gun.

    My priorities are not to offer the blood sacrifices of children on the altar of "gun rights".

    How many dead children per year are ok, to keep gun rights?

    I think it was Joe The Plumber who said, after a recent mass shooting (there's ALWAYS a recent one in USA), that his 2nd Amendment rights, in his perverse interpretation, trump the lives of all children. I bet he says what millions of less gun fellators agree with but are a little bit smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

    I noticed you dodged the question too.

    Hundreds of children die each year from accidental shootings or suicide, on the order of 500+ per year, beyond those killed in homicides.

    How many children are you willing to let die to keep any restrictions on gun ownership from being enacted into law?

    It is a very serious question that should be answered by anyone who would argue against laws on 2nd amendment basis, and even for those who propose that we even keep the 2nd amendment.

    I think the 2nd amendment should be repealed in its entirety. Let the states decide for themselves how to regulate these dangerous tools, like they regulate vehicles.

    In your OP both men had instant access to deadly force, and nothing happened. And your thread le is a lie, only one man acted stupid. You act as if open carry is some new idea, it's been around a long while yet not many people choose to exercise the right, so no, everybody will not start wearing guns, and those that choose to do so aren't shooting everyone up as you seem to imply.


    And lol @ your mass shooting scenario.

    It is sad and unfortunate that even one child dies from a gun, but trying to put that on me with the "how many children are you willing to let die" is just complete bull . You act as if guns are not restricted in any manner. Vehicles are heavily regulated and more kids die per year in car accidents. What restrictions would have saved these kids?

    lol You wanted an answer to that ridiculous question? Ok, let's say up to the number of children killed by abortion each year but I may reconsider if the number of child firearm deaths ever exceeds 10% of the number of abortions.

    Hundreds oe thousands of children are killed each year by cars.

    Hundreds of children are killed each year playing.

    Unknown tens, or hundreds of thousand children are murdered each year by abortion.

    What is your point?
