Campus Carry Information - Effective July 1, 2017

The University System of Georgia has issued guidelines on the new "campus carry" law, which are available here:

Additional information is available on the Dalton State Public Safety website here:

Under the new law, and with a few exceptions, properly licensed individuals may carry concealed handguns in public college classes if they are conducted in buildings and facilities not otherwise exempt from the new law. Licensed carriers may NOT, however, carry handguns to classes where high school students are enrolled. It is a misdemeanor for a licensed carrier to possess a weapon in an area that is exempt under the new law and it will be the responsibility of those license-holders who choose to carry handguns on campus to know the law and to understand where they can go while carrying. Failure to abide by the law may also be a violation of the college's student code of conduct.
