Reply to "Open carry--legally--while speeding--with 4 kids in car--and under the influence"

Concealed carry, while under the influence, is illegal in most states.  I suspect the same is true in Georgia for open carry.

I inadvertently omitted the link to this story.

 It reports the following:

"Taylor was stopped at 2:45 p.m. on April 7 for driving 72 mph in a 45 mph zone with four juveniles in his SUV, according to the police report. Officer Michael Bennett reported that Taylor exited his vehicle and was legally carrying a gun on his hip."

His weapon was not concealed.  He was wearing it on his hip.  Georgia law prohibits possession of a firearm under certain circumstances, but strangely not simply while driving under the influence. Here are two sources of gun law in Georgia; search them all you wish and I do not believe you will find what you have described for either open-carry or concealed carry.
