Here is an excerpt from the Gun Ownership Requirement in Kennesaw, GA

STILL THE LAW IN KENNESAW

Times change, but world famous Second Amendment statement remains in place after 20 years.

Jim Galloway - Staff

Sunday, July 15, 2001

"... every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefor."

EXCERPT FROM 1982 KENNESAW ORDINANCE, SEC. 34-1

John Nunez and his family moved to Kennesaw from New Jersey nine months ago.

Friends and relatives rib the sales manager about whether he's complied with the city's famous ordinance. Does he own a gun?

"No," he said. "Does a water pistol count?"

It's not a matter of philosophy, Nunez said. He likes handguns. But he has three kids in the house under the age of 5.

The gun law heard 'round the world has entered its 20th year. It still reads the same: The head of every household in Kennesaw must have a firearm and ammunition.

Unless he or she doesn't want to.

But little else has stood still. The little town of 7,000 has exploded into a city of 22,000. The young, personable mayor who ordered up the gun law abruptly vanished.

I really don't see a problem with this as long as you have had some training. I personally have had the training & I do carry concealed & I have a carrying permit. The classes let you know what you can & cannot do with the handgun, and in PA, as far as just being able to shoot someone that breaks into your home, that is NOT the case, you must give the intruder a chance to leave, and only as a last resort, should you shoot. And if they are leaving, they are no longer a considered a threat to you & if you were to shoot them in the back, YOU will be the one getting into trouble. I would recommend the classes, in PA you dont have to have classes, they teach you alot.
