A:
No. Georgia is a constitutional carry state, which means you do not even need a permit to carry a concealed firearm if you're over 21 and otherwise allowed to have a firearm.
That being so, if you have a concealed carry permit from another state, reciprocity would mean that Georgia would recognize the other state's permit as if it were one of its own-but only if you would otherwise be qualified to get a carry permit in the state. And since you cannot get such a permit in Georgia until you are 21 years of age, you would not be entitled to carry in our state.
