    | A gun law passed by the General Assembly in 2014 has caused DeKalb County’s security costs to jump roughly 73 percent, according to Police Chief James Conroy.  He said the county spent roughly $600,000 more on security costs in 2017 compared to three years prior, mainly because it needs more armed guards patrolling public spaces.  The  2014 measure, which Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law, allows concealed weapon permit holders to carry their guns inside most government facilities.

    | Dekalb says they're afraid of armed citizens and wasting citizens' money to hire security to protect themselves from honest citizens. |
