I should be driving in the next days up to atlanta and savannah and get back quickly.

the law there to carry in the car says :

"Georgia
Title 16, Chapter 11, Section 126
(c) This Code section shall not permit, outside of his or her home, motor vehicle, or place of
business, the concealed carrying of a pistol, revolver, or concealable firearm by any person
unless that person has on his or her person a valid license issued under Code Section 16-11-129
and the pistol, revolver, or firearm may only be carried in a shoulder holster, waist belt holster,
any other holster, hipgrip, or any other similar device, in which event the weapon may be
concealed by the person's clothing, or a handbag, purse, attache case, briefcase, or other closed
container. Carrying on the person in a concealed manner other than as provided in this subsection
shall not be permitted and shall be a violation of this Code section.
No Permit License Is needed to carry the firearm inside your Motor Vehicle either openly or
concealed.
The GA Court of Appeals ruled in (Hubbard v. State, 210 Ga. App. 141, 143-44 1993) that if
you do not have a permit/license honored in GA you can only carry a firearm in “Your Own
Vehicle.” This means you can carry in “Your Own Vehicle” without a permit/license but if you
are riding in a vehicle that is not yours you must have a GA permit/license or a permit/license
that GA honors to carry a loaded firearm in the motor vehicle."

what is your experience about it? from what i understand, i can carry with no problem.

You're good to go! Fl has reciprocity with GA. Double check the DOL website.

The part you have in bold is saying anyone can have a weapon in their vehicle and it doesn't need to be concealed. Georgia has open carry laws, which allows for you to have a weapon stored in the glovebox or clearly visibly within your vehicle without an carry license. If you wish to open carry outside your home or vehicle it requires a permit.

As for concealed carry, your FL CWP allows you to carry concealed in Georgia as well. You're good to go.

www.opencarry.org <---One of my favorite resources.

http://opencarry.org/travel.html <---Travel map, in Georgia visitors must have it in the glovebox or clearly visible (in the open). So hiding it under your seat for easy concealed access is not allowed.
