AG Defends Stone Mountain Park Carry Ban
The Georgia Attorney General’s office has responded to GCO’s letter requesting a repeal of the ban on possession of firearms in Stone Mountain Park. In its letter, the Attorney General succinctly informs GCO that it “respectfully disagree[s]” with GCO’s position. The letters may be viewed here.

It won’t matter after July 1, he’ll have no authority.

Is SMMA still part of the State Park system? Regardless, I wonder which part of the no preemption doctrine the AG has trouble with. That doesn’t need to wait until July 1.

No, Stone Mountain is not a state park as others are run by the Department of Natural Resources. Stone mountain is controlled by a state created authority.
HB 89 deals with DNR property but not state authorities. So when July 1st comes, SM will still be off limits (unless something else is done).
