**Georgia Supreme Court Affirms Public Handgun Carry Ban for Under-21s: Young Guns Left in the Lurch**
In a landmark decision that has left many young Georgians feeling as unarmed as a toddler at a gun show, the Georgia Supreme Court has upheld a ban on public handgun carry for those under 21. The ruling has sparked a wave of reactions, ranging from the confused to the downright hilarious.
“Honestly, I thought this was just a really intense episode of ‘Survivor: Georgia Edition,’” said local 19-year-old gun enthusiast, Billy “The Kid” McGraw. “I mean, how am I supposed to defend my honor in a duel at the Waffle House now? I can’t even order a side of bacon without feeling vulnerable!”
The court’s decision has left many young Georgians feeling like they’ve been denied entry to the coolest club in town. “It’s like being told you can’t go to the prom because you’re not old enough to drive,” lamented 20-year-old Sarah “The Sharpshooter” Thompson. “I just wanted to show off my new holster! Now I have to stick to my trusty slingshot.”
In a surprising twist, the court’s ruling has also led to a surge in alternative self-defense classes. “We’re seeing a lot of interest in ‘How to Throw a Mean Frisbee’ and ‘Advanced Pillow Fighting Techniques,’” said local martial arts instructor Chuck “The Pillowcase” Johnson. “Who knew that the youth of Georgia would be so eager to learn how to defend themselves with household items?”
Meanwhile, Governor Brian Kemp was quoted saying, “We’re just trying to keep our young people safe. After all, they can’t even handle their own social media accounts without a meltdown, let alone a firearm.”
As the dust settles on this controversial ruling, one thing is clear: Georgia’s under-21s will have to find new ways to express their Second Amendment rights—perhaps by starting a petition for a “Gun-Free Zone” at the local arcade. After all, nothing says “freedom” like a good game of air hockey without the threat of a sidearm!
