 ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's public university presidents and police chiefs were strongly opposed to letting people carry concealed handguns on college campuses. Now that Gov. Nathan Deal has signed the campus-carry law, it falls on them to figure out how to implement it before the next school year begins. 
  
 Deal's strenuous objections to guns on campus in a veto message the year before had many Georgians hoping the outgoing Republican governor, who is term-limited and plans to retire next year, would issue another veto. 
  
 But Deal said in a written message released Thursday evening that he was swayed by exclusions that lawmakers wrote into House Bill 280, adding places on campus where even people with state-issued permits won't be allowed to carry concealed handguns. 
  
 These include preschools, faculty or administrative offices, disciplinary hearings and areas where high schoolers take classes. 
  
 "These excluded areas represent the most 'sensitive places' on a college campus," Deal wrote. "It is altogether appropriate that weapons not be allowed in these areas. I appreciate the thoughtful consideration given by the General Assembly in expanding these excluded areas within a college campus in this year's bill." 
  
 Other places where concealed handguns remain prohibited include dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses and buildings used for athletic events. 
  
 In a message to leaders of the University System of Georgia's 28 institutions, Chancellor Steve Wrigley said administrators will provide guidance on implementing the law, which becomes effective July 1. 
  
 "We recognize that many have strong feelings about this new law," Wrigley wrote. "It is important that we all work together across our campuses to implement the new law appropriately and continue to provide a top-quality education to our students." 
  
 Campus leaders have said that allowing concealed handguns will make it much more difficult for officers to maintain security in extreme situations. 
  
 Now they'll need to develop new protocols, since every campus is a collection of places where the prohibitions may or may not apply. Violations by "weapons carry license holders" are misdemeanors, punishable by $25 fines and no jail time. 
  
 Georgia joins nine other states that allow concealed weapons to be carried on campuses. Permit-holders must be at least 21 — or at least 18 with proof of basic training or active service in the military. Applicants must provide fingerprints for a criminal record check, and undergo an additional federal background check. 
  
 Supporters say people must be able to protect themselves while traveling to and from campus or within school grounds. But faculty and student groups worry Georgia's campuses will be less appealing for those considering other options for school or work. 
  
 Deal had shocked fellow Republicans with the tone of last year's veto message, which referenced opposition to guns on the University of Virginia campus by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, and an opinion by the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that described schools as "sensitive places" under the Second Amendment. 
  
 In signing this year's bill, advocacy groups accused Deal of capitulating to the National Rifle Association, which held its annual convention last week in downtown Atlanta. 
  
 "This flip-flop will be what Georgians remember about our Governor for years to come — that he bent to the Washington gun lobby that came to town for a couple of days for a convention, rather than listening to his own constituents and campus stakeholders," said Lindsey Donovan, a volunteer with the anti-gun violence group Moms Demand Action. "This will be the legacy he leaves behind." ||||| Flipping On The Issue, Georgia Gov. Signs Campus Carry Bill

 Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has signed a bill legalizing the concealed carry of firearms in some areas of public college and university campuses. 
  
 Last year, many against the bill celebrated strong language in Governor Deal's veto of a similar bill. 
  
 In that veto, Deal's office said it was "highly questionable" that the bill would make students safer. 
  
 "From the early days of our nation and state, colleges have been treated as sanctuaries of learning where firearms have not been allowed. To depart from such time-honored protections should require overwhelming justification. I do not find that such justification exists," he wrote. 
  
 Georgia is the second state this year to pass a campus carry law, after Arkansas. Utah was the first to get the ball rolling in 2007. Later that year, a shooter at Virginia Tech killed more than 30 people on campus. At least 10 states now allow some form of campus carry and nearly 20 bills were introduced across the country by state lawmakers just last year. 
  
 Deal has said his previous opposition to the bill had to do with lawmakers failing to include exemptions for "sensitive places" on campus, including preschools, disciplinary hearings, some offices and dormitories. This year, state representatives gave him the bill he asked for, and his focus shifted to safety concerns off campus. 
  
 "Unfortunately, in parts of the state, the path to higher education travels through dangerous territory," Deal wrote this year, referring to muggings that have occurred on or near some college campuses. 
  
 Atlanta's chief of police has opposed the law, as has the University System of Georgia Board of Regents. 
  
 In a statement, Regents Chancellor Steve Wrigley told schools to wait on policy guidance to be worked out before the law takes effect in July. 
  
 "We recognize that many have strong feelings about this new law," said Wrigley. 
  
 The move is a blow to many professors and students who've protested loudly against the measure for five years as lawmakers have tried to get a bill through. 
  
 Gun control advocates blamed Deal's shift in part on the National Rifle Association coming to Atlanta for its annual meeting. 
  
 "This flip-flop will be what Georgians remember about our governor for years to come – that he bent to the Washington gun lobby that came to town for a couple of days for a convention rather than listening to his own constituents and campus stakeholders," said Lindsay Donovan with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America in a statement. 
  
 Some, however, are celebrating. Student Ja'Quan Taylor, who carries his handgun off-campus regularly and heads the marksmanship club at Georgia Tech, said he's "extremely excited" about Deal's signature. 
  
 "It's comforting to know that the right to protect myself doesn't end the instant I walk onto campus grounds, especially when considering I spend a huge portion of my day there," he said via text. 
  
 The NRA's lobbying arm has said supporting student activists like Taylor is an increasing part of a strategy to grow membership. 
  
 "Sort of a more focused effort to specifically have students speaking on behalf of NRA issues and educating students on gun rights on their campuses," said Glen Caroline, who heads the NRA's grassroots division, last week at the group's annual meeting.

Gov. Nathan Deal signed legislation Thursday allowing people with permits to carry concealed handguns on Georgia's public college campuses, despite the objections of state university leaders and his own veto of a campus-carry measure last year. Deal shocked fellow Republicans with strenuous objections to guns on campus in last year's veto message, and many expected the governor, who plans to retire next year, would issue another veto, the AP reports. But Deal said in a written message Thursday evening that he was swayed by exclusions that lawmakers wrote into House Bill 280, adding places on campus where even people with state-issued permits won't be allowed to carry concealed handguns. These include preschools, faculty or administrative offices, disciplinary hearings, and areas where high schoolers take classes.

Other places where concealed handguns remain prohibited include dormitories, fraternity and sorority houses, and buildings used for athletic events. Some form of campus carry is now legal in at least 10 states, including Arkansas, which passed its measure earlier this year, NPR reports. Georgia's new law will become effective July 1. (In 2014, Deal signed a law allowing guns in bars, churches, and government buildings.)
