Georgia's New Approvals

I heard some very interesting news this morning while driving in the car and immediately knew that I had to blog about it. The state of Georgia has placed to laws in effect. The first one is to ban texting or surfing mobile Internet while driving. The other law is to allow more weapons in places that they are normally not allowed such as around the airport and in school parking lots. This news struck me by surprise. I am extremely happy that there is a band on cell phone usage because it has gotten out of control lately but this entire idea about allowing weapons in restricted areas is placing more harm on individuals in my opinion. School has always been a safety zone and to allow children to bring weapons inside of parking lots on within the area of the school is simply outrageous to me. Parents have enough trouble and worries now a day's thinking about their children’s safety without us adding furry to the fire. I believe that this law could only hinder us as a state. Could allowing more weapons in prohibited areas advance us or hinder us? I believe that it will ultimately be a hindrance.
