You know, I MUCH prefer it when the legislature is NOT in session!!..... This time Georgia has a bill in the House of Reps, sponsored by several legistlators, to outright ban "pit bull dogs" from the state. This is House Bill 78, and it has already had one reading before the full House. It not only will ban Pit Bulls(which it defines as any American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, or Staffordshire Bull Terrier, or mixes of those breeds, or dogs having charactersistics of those breeds)but will repeal any existing state law which contradicts this law, should it be enacted.
