5. I live in Kennesaw

and while it is true, and a source of much embarrassment, that Kennesaw does have this law on the books, the law excepts citizens who have moral objections or can't afford to buy a guy, so basically it simply says anybody who wants a gun can have one. It's so easy to get a gun in Georgia already that the law is just silly. I'm sure there are plenty, but I doubt that there are any more guns in Kennesaw than there are in the other surrounding suburbs of Atlanta. Where the article is inaccurate and insulting is in its tone. Like suggesting first that Wildman's "is the most prominent business in the two block downtown." I don't know the place but it makes Kennesaw sound like a tiny little redneck enclave. Again, we've got rednecks aplenty but the sprawling Town Center, a regional mall, with hundreds and hundreds of stores is a more "prominent" place to shop.
Our crime rate, already very low in what is now a bustling, affluent suburb, did not, however, go down as a result of the law.
