So much for having a gun for defense.

It is a small percentage of the population that carry a personal protection firearm, so the possibility of someone at the scene having a weapon is small. Also, most doctor's offices, hospitals and clinics prohibit firearms on their premises. law abiding people obey the prohibition and do not carry in these locations, but the criminal element totally disregards it.
The state of Georgia does allow open carry of a weapon, but the individual must have a carry permit to do so.
