The state Supreme Court is set to release a decision Monday on a gun rights group’s bid to overturn the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s ban on visitors carrying firearms, according to the high court’s website.
At issue is GeorgiaCarry’s challenge to the garden’s policy. It started when a GeorgiaCarry member visited the garden with his wife and children in October 2014, openly carrying a handgun in a holster on his waistband. He stayed three hours and bought a one-year membership in the garden, according to the group’s brief. When he came back a week later, carrying the same weapon, he was “accosted” by a garden employee, who called a security officer to detain him. Police soon arrived and escorted the man off the property.
