Weapons policy questioned

MARIETTA, Ga. - Cobb County lawmakers say it may be time to revise Georgia's zero-tolerance stance toward weapons at public schools after two students were arrested for storing knives in their cars.

Seniors at Allatoona and Lassiter high schools were charged with carrying weapons in a school zone, a felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.

The Marietta Daily Journal reported state Reps. Rich Golick, R-Smyrna, and Ed Setzler, R-Acworth, say the law lacks common sense and proof that violators have any criminal intent.

"The public expects the same good common sense they use every day of their lives to apply to the laws of our state, and we as legislators seek nothing less," Setzler said.
