A Georgia Carry member, wishing to attend the "Wings Over Georgia" airshow being held at the Richard B. Russell Regional Airport, a publicly owned property, looked at the rules and regulations for said airshow and found something disturbing:
"All forms of weapons are prohibited. All persons, vehicles and hand carried items are subject to search at anytime while on the airport facility. Narcotics and paraphernalia are strictly prohibited. There is a no-tolerance standard for fighting or protesting at anytime. No political activity is authorized unless pre-approved by air show management. Failure to follow the rules will result in prosecution and removal from the airport facility."
Knowing full well that the Georgia Legislature had reserved unto itself all matters of regulating firearms (with the exception of discharge), he contacted the Floyd County Sheriff's Office and made inquiry on the 11th of September, asking what their authority to ban weapons was.
After some back and forth with the Sheriff's Office the member was forced to file suit which may be read below:
