3.13 Private Property Rights

Georgia law provides the owners of private property with the right to regulate the possession of firearms. Students, faculty, staff, and the general public are forbidden from having firearms, fireworks, explosives or explosive devices, or other weapons on university property.

This includes the storage of such devices in automobiles parked on university property. Exception is made for licensed public safety officials in the employ of the university, licensed public safety officers from other jurisdictions who are on university property in the discharge of their official duties, and/or to attend classes at the Georgia Forensic Academy at Piedmont University.
