Since April 2022, lawful weapons carriers in Georgia may carry a handgun openly or concealed without a license, typically from age 21 (18 for active military and honorably discharged veterans).

Georgia's firearms deer season for 2026-27 runs from October 17, 2026, to January 10, 2027, following archery season in September and a primitive weapons week in October. Rifles, handguns, shotguns, and muzzleloaders are permitted during firearms season. Either-sex hunting days vary by county; consult Georgia DNR regulations for specifics.
