The committee also cleared measures allowing permit holders to carry guns on State Capitol grounds without first notifying the state Department of Public Safety and easing the purchase of guns in other states.

Georgia To Allow Silencers For Hunting

Senate Bill 301 was approved by a vote of 48-5. Sen.

Hunters would still need a federal permit to possess a silencer.
