6. HB 875 (status and link to pdf)

SECTION 1-5 of the bill modifies the Georgia Code 6-11-127(b) to remove, for example, prohibition on carrying weapons in houses of worship and bars, and I can't be sure whether these venues are generally allowed to prohibit carrying: the bill also modifies the Georgia Code, 6-11-127(c) to read "private property owners or persons in legal control of private property through a lease, rental agreement, licensing agreement, contract, or any other agreement to control access to such private property shall have the right to exclude or eject a person who is in possession of a weapon or long gun on their private property in accordance with paragraph (3) of subsection (b) of Code Section 16-7-21, except as provided in Code Section 16-11-135"

Does that mean only the actual property owner or lessee can exclude or eject a person in possession of a weapon?

The cited sections are unhelpful: Section 16-7-21 discusses criminal trespass, and 16-11-35 refers to colleges and universities
