Georgia has no permit to purchase, no gun registration, no state waiting period and no magazine limit, and state law bars cities and counties from adding their own. Buying from a licensed dealer works the federal way: you show photo ID, complete ATF Form 4473 and the dealer runs a background check before handing over the firearm. Federal law sets the dealer minimum at 21 for handguns and 18 for rifles and shotguns. Private sales between Georgia residents need no state background check, but it is a crime to sell to anyone barred from owning a gun.
Dealers in these communities all work for Brunswick-area buyers:
Since April 12, 2022, Georgia has allowed permitless carry. Anyone who qualifies for a Georgia weapons carry license and is not barred from possessing a firearm is a lawful weapons carrier and may carry a handgun openly or concealed without the license. That generally means age 21, or 18 with qualifying military service. The license itself is still issued by the Glynn County Probate Court for five years and is worth having for travel to reciprocity states. Courthouses, jails, secured government buildings, school safety zones and the area within 150 feet of a polling place remain off-limits.
Georgia's 2026-27 deer seasons are set statewide: archery opens Sept. 12, 2026, primitive weapons run Oct. 10-16, and the firearms season runs Oct. 17, 2026 through Jan. 10, 2027, closing Jan. 15 in one zone. Either-sex days depend on the color-coded zone that covers Glynn County. Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton north of GA 92 are archery only. Legal deer firearms are centerfire rifles and handguns .22 caliber or larger with expanding bullets, shotguns 20 gauge or larger with slugs or buckshot, and muzzleloaders .30 caliber or larger. The season limit is 10 antlerless and 2 antlered deer.
The Jekyll Island portion of Glynn County is archery only for deer. Duck hunters use the tidal marsh and the Altamaha WMA impoundments near Darien, and Paulk's Pasture WMA offers deer and hog hunting inland.
Altamaha WMA's marsh impoundments near Darien, about 20 minutes north, are among Georgia's best-known public duck hunts.
The Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division runs firearm ranges on Wildlife Management Areas, open Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday afternoons and closed Mondays. Shooters 16 and older need a Georgia hunting or fishing license or a Lands Pass and must complete the range safety video certification through GoOutdoorsGeorgia; the Forest Service ranges at Sumac Creek and Chestnut Mountain take payment on recreation.gov, and the county-run ranges set their own fees.
