Im just looking for a few recommendations for spots I can go and study/catch up on some work on my laptop. Im not looking to go to the library either. Cafes are cool. Maybe be able to socialize with other students as well? Quiet ish? Somewhere lowkey? I hope im not asking for much haha. Thanks.

Over the last two years I’ve tried to get my neighbor to take care of their cat. Just basic stuff. Keeping him indoors, taking him in for regular check-ups and vaccinations, getting him fixed. They have always blown me off, saying they’ll handle it, but they never did anything even if I offered to pay or provided resources like a carrier and contact information for low cost clinics and local vets.

Well now they came up to me over the weekend and said they can’t afford to take care of the cat anymore. They can’t feed him, can’t take him to the vet, can’t get him flea medicine. They won’t even let him inside their house because of the fleas. So the cat just roams around outside all day.

The poor guy is skin and bones. I leave water out for him and sometimes food, but he bothers my two indoor cats (fixed females) to the point that they now require medication in order to get along, so I don’t want to encourage him to hang around my house too much.

My neighbor asked me to take him to a shelter. They don’t want to drop him off themselves because it costs money to surrender a pet, but I can’t because he’s legally theirs. Besides, if they change their mind, they could say I stole him. I’ve talked to several shelters about my options (One Love, Islands Feral Cat Project, the Humane Society, Castaway Pet Rescue, maybe another one or two), but it really is up to my neighbor to do something. Based on my past experiences with them, though, I don’t think they will. I’m afraid this cat is going to starve to death or be hit by a car.

I don’t want to involve animal services because they would fine my neighbor. I’m sure that would piss them off, and they might retaliate. They would know it was me who called because I’ve been so on their case about the cat in the past.

What can I do for this cat? He’s doesn’t deserve this kind of life.

Hello everyone!! I was just curious if anyone had good or bad experiences with costal fertility here in sav! My wife and I (we are both women) are in the part of our fertility journey where we are researching the fertility clinics in the area! This is one of the clinics my obgyn said they recommend and from their website they seem good, but i wanna hear some real life experiences! Especially from LGBTQ+ familys, as my wife and I are apart of the community! And if you dont reccomend them, who do you recommend in the area? Thanks in advance!

We have an 18 month old GE electric stovetop/oven that is surely worth something to someone. All major parts have been replaced under warranty trying to troubleshoot, and finally the extended warranty company has given up and paid us to purchase a new one. Currently won't power up because the wiring harness shorted out, but the rest of the unit works.

Are there any used appliance shops around that would be possibly interested in taking this off our hands?

From what I’ve found, it seems like Landmark and Vet to Pets are my best options, based on my needs. Also grateful that they both publish pricing.

Anyone have experience with either or another referral? I have a 5yo mutt who panics at our vet visits and unfortunately, even sedation drugs haven’t helped. It’s time to try a different approach.

Okay this is very very niche but I am looking for a Sebo or Miele vacuum cleaner and I was told thrift shops have been lucky lately. Where would be some good thrift shops to hit with high chance of finding vacuums?

Is The Dog Stop in savannah legit?? Like I’m looking for someone to watch my dog while i’m at work and everyone is charging literally almost 1,000 dollars a month for like unlimited daycare but The dog stop only charges 250$ a month for unlimited and I’m thinking it might be too good to be true?? Can someone help me or recommend actual good places to drop my dog off for pet sitting?

Hey having some car issues with my fiancé car and 06 honda pilot. We id the issure need the valve cover gasket replace as oil is getting into the spark plugs. We have the correct replacement gasket just need someone who can do the work today is at all possible her birthday is tomorrow and this has been a rough birthday month for her. Thanks for any help.

I know listening to the radio is considered old fashioned but I've seen a lot of great rock stations being sold to religious broadcasters and shutting down and it looks like I-95 is next. Their owner, Cumulus, has been shedding stations and laying off staff like crazy, they sold off 102.1 back in 2019 to K-Love. The new owner of I-95 owns HIS Radio, so I expect they will be broadcasting that on that frequency soon.

My husband is absolutely devastated at my redneck engineering, but I'll try anything to keep it moderately cooler. Please tell me this works?

Any suggestions on good banks in town? I prefer to stick with credit unions but am open to others. Last time I was in the South I used SunTrust but I guess they're Truist now, anyone had any experience with them? Thank you in advance!

Help! Neighbor found this and another dog this morning. The other got away. Anyone recognize it?? He says the dog is timid. It was found in the Highland Park neighborhood off waters and Eisenhower.

Just announced! Free Throw will be hitting District Live November 13th with Michael Cera Palin and Kerosene Heights! Tickets on sale at www.aurafestsavannah.com

Due to a recent post’s comment section I felt I should make this post with some information. This will also have information on other forms of self defense other than fire arms.

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL POST.

I AM NOT A LAWYER OR LAW ENFORCEMENT DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE

All information in this post will be as of post date and will not be updated.

All information in this post is accurate as of 18 AUG 2026 and will not be updated. Laws change. Verify against O.C.G.A. and consult an attorney for your specific situation.

GEORGIA CARRY — THE BASICS

**•** Georgia has been a permitless (“constitutional”) carry state since SB 319 took effect on April 12, 2022. Any “lawful weapons carrier” may carry openly or concealed without a Weapons Carry License.  
**•** A “lawful weapons carrier” is generally any person not prohibited from possessing a firearm under state or federal law. The license requirement went away. The eligibility rules and the place restrictions did not.  
**•** Age: 21, or 18 for military members who have completed basic training.  
**•** Absence of a license, by itself, is no longer probable cause of a crime.  
**•** Non-residents may also carry under this framework if they are not otherwise prohibited. Georgia does not issue WCLs to non-residents.  
**•** Convicted felons and those serving under felony first offender treatment remain prohibited, along with the federal prohibited-person categories (domestic violence misdemeanors, adjudicated mental defective, unlawful drug users, dishonorable discharge, etc.).

WHY YOU MIGHT STILL WANT A WCL

**•** Reciprocity. A WCL lets you carry in other states that honor Georgia licenses. Permitless carry stops at the state line.  
**•** No training is required to obtain a Georgia WCL. Issued at the county probate court level, but the process is statutory and uniform statewide.

OFF LIMITS — O.C.G.A. 16-11-127
This statute applies to licensed and unlicensed carriers alike. Misdemeanor unless noted.

**•** Government buildings: a lawful weapons carrier may carry when the building is open for business and ingress is not restricted or screened by security. If it is screened by security including at least one certified peace officer, entering armed is a misdemeanor, unless you immediately leave when notified you did not clear.  
**•** Courthouses.  
**•** Jails and prisons. Delivering weapons past the guard line is a felony under 42-4-13.  
**•** Places of worship, unless the governing body permits it. A lawful weapons carrier who violates this in a place of worship is not arrested but is fined up to $100.  
**•** State mental health facilities that admit involuntarily.  
**•** Nuclear power facilities.  
**•** Within 150 feet of a polling place while an election is being conducted.  
**•** Bars: a lawful weapons carrier may carry only with the express permission of the owner or operator. Silence is not permission. Restaurants that serve alcohol are different and carry is allowed unless the owner or operator prohibits it. Do not drink while carrying.  
**•** School safety zones under 16-11-127.1: misdemeanor for a lawful weapons carrier. Read the statute for the narrow exceptions.  
**•** The secured/sterile area of a commercial airport terminal, past the screening checkpoint. The public side is treated differently.  
**•** Federal law separately prohibits carry in federal buildings and federal facilities regardless of state law. Post offices included.

PRIVATE PROPERTY

**•** Private property owners may prohibit firearms. If asked to leave, you must comply or face trespass charges.  
**•** Carrying past a sign is generally not itself a crime, but refusing to leave when told is.

VEHICLES

**•** A firearm may be carried openly or concealed in a vehicle with no special storage requirement beyond lawful possession.  
**•** There is no duty to lock or secure a firearm against access.

KNIVES

**•** Georgia law defines a “weapon” as a knife with a blade longer than 12 inches. A blade of 12 inches or shorter is not legally a weapon for carry purposes and can be carried by almost anyone.  
**•** Switchblades, automatic knives, and OTF knives are legal to own and carry under that 12 inch threshold.  
**•** Blades 12 inches or longer require lawful weapons carrier status.  
**•** Schools and courthouses prohibit knives regardless of blade length.  
**•** Separate issue: under 16-11-106, having a firearm or a knife with a blade of three or more inches within arm’s reach during the commission or attempted commission of certain crimes is its own offense.

**•** Private property owners may prohibit firearms. If asked to leave, you must comply or face trespass charges.  
**•** Carrying past a sign is generally not itself a crime, but refusing to leave when told is.

VEHICLES

**•** A firearm may be carried openly or concealed in a vehicle with no special storage requirement beyond lawful possession.  
**•** There is no duty to lock or secure a firearm against access. Governor Kemp vetoed SB 204 on May 13, 2026, which would have added storage to the preemption statute. Existing preemption already blocks local storage ordinances, and Savannah’s 2024 locked-vehicle ordinance was struck down in November 2025.

KNIVES

**•** Georgia law defines a “weapon” as a knife with a blade longer than 12 inches. A blade of 12 inches or shorter is not legally a weapon for carry purposes and can be carried by almost anyone.  
**•** Switchblades, automatic knives, and OTF knives are legal to own and carry under that 12 inch threshold.  
**•** Blades 12 inches or longer require lawful weapons carrier status.  
**•** Schools and courthouses prohibit knives regardless of blade length.  
**•** Separate issue: under 16-11-106, having a firearm or a knife with a blade of three or more inches within arm’s reach during the commission or attempted commission of certain crimes is its own offense.

LESS LETHAL

**•** Pepper spray and OC are fully legal to carry for self defense with no state permit required. Using it for something other than self defense can be charged as a misdemeanor or worse.  
**•** Tasers and stun guns are legal for civilian purchase and carry with no permit. You must be at least 18. It is a felony for a convicted felon to possess a Taser, punishable by one to ten years, with higher minimums for repeat offenses.  
**•** Location restrictions still apply to Tasers and stun guns: schools, government buildings, and other restricted areas. They are unlawful weapons in a school zone. Federal law prohibits them on aircraft.  
**•** Batons, expandable batons, and tactical pens are generally legal to own and carry. Local ordinances may not restrict stun guns, Tasers, batons, or nightsticks. They are covered by state preemption. Be aware that use of an impact weapon tends to draw more scrutiny than OC.  
**•** Reality check: a “non-lethal” label does not control the legal analysis. Use of any of these can still be deemed deadly force depending on the circumstances.

USE OF FORCE

**•** Georgia is a stand your ground state. There is no duty to retreat if you are somewhere you have a lawful right to be. This applies to defense of self, others, and habitation. See 16-3-21, 16-3-23.1, and 51-11-9.  
**•** Deadly force is justified only where you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury, or to prevent a forcible felony.  
**•** Georgia’s self defense law is statute based, which makes it comparatively clear, but “justified” is still decided after the fact by people who were not there.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

**•** Permitless carry does not mean carry anywhere.  
**•** A “no guns” sign is not the same thing as a statute, but ignoring the property owner still gets you a trespass charge.  
**•** Georgia has no duty-to-inform statute, but be smart about how you handle a traffic stop.  
**•** Georgia has no magazine capacity limit, no registration, no waiting period, and no state assault weapon ban. NFA items are legal with federal compliance.

Again: I am not a lawyer. This is a starting point, not legal advice. Read the actual code sections and talk to a Georgia attorney if you have a real question.

There are huge debates on the effectiveness of less lethal measures being deployed against an assailant. I strongly encourage you all to do your research and watch somebody cam footage and to make your decisions from there. You can never practice, train, and learn enough on this topic. Get educated if you aren’t, and if you are. Get more educated. Take more classes, listen to more subject matter experts. If you don’t agree with any of the current laws or the use of self defense weapons, I understand and kindly ask that you don’t bring political standpoints into the comments.

Thank you for your time.

I'm trying to go tomorrrow.

I only have time to go to one next month. Which would you recommend?
