Probate judge suspends pistol permit applications?

December 28, 2012

I heard from a reliable source that the Clarke County Probate Judge, Susan Tate, has suspended the application process for those wishing to obtain a GA Weapons Carry License. Has anyone else experienced this when trying to apply for a license? I'm not sure of the legality of this given that Georgia is a 'must issue' state, meaning that anyone who successfully completes the FBI background and fingerprint check must be issued the license. Neither the probate judge nor the sheriff has any discretion on who receives the permit. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has more information on the subject.

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more
