On May 19, 2017, partner Simon Bloom was featured on WABE-FM, Atlanta’s NPR station, in a story about a new state law that allows students who have concealed carry permits for their firearms to bring the weapons to some areas on Georgia’s public college and technical school campuses.
Bloom says that the law is less about arming students and more about debating Second Amendment rights in a different arena. He said it won’t affect many students because they have to be 21 years old to apply for a carry permit.
“The likelihood of that small subset of ‘super seniors’ that want to carry a gun to school sitting next to a 15-year-old or 16-year-old or 17-year-old—sophomore, junior, senior in high school—is so remote,” Bloom explains.
