Recently this article was renamed from "Gun laws in Georgia" to "Gun laws in Georgia (U.S. state)". I'm going to rename it back the way it was. There is not a Wikipedia article about gun laws in the European country of Georgia, therefore it is not necessary to disambiguate the title of this article, or to make it more precise, so the original article title is preferable. With that said, if there is a consensus among editors, after sufficient time for discussion (a few weeks, perhaps), for changing the name of this article, then we can proceed. Thanks. — Mudwater ( Talk) 06:03, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Upon further review, here's my crazy new idea. What about using a modified version of the "Gun laws by US state" template -- without the alphabetic list of states, and without the caption saying that the map is a map -- at the top of the "Gun laws in the United States by state" article -- but leaving it off the 51 individual state gun law articles? I've created a facsimile of what this would look like. First I created {{ US state linked map/sandbox}}, without the caption, and then I created {{ Gun laws by US state/sandbox}}, without the list of states and without a title. Then I put the modified map at the top of the Gun laws in the United States by state article, in my own sandbox. Check it out, you might like it. I think it's pretty good this way, but, again, I would still vote for leaving it off the individual state articles. Let me know what you think! — Mudwater ( Talk) 02:28, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
Regular internet user passing by - I'm searching for firearms laws in the country of Georgia and finding it difficult to separate it out from the state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.16.13.208 ( talk) 21:37, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. Consensus has established that there is no primary topic between Georgia (U. S. state) and Georgia (country), and this article is no exception. Estar8806 ( talk) 18:23, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Gun laws in Georgia → Gun laws in Georgia (U.S. state) – There is no primary topic for "Georgia": Georgia is a disambiguation page with the two common uses Georgia (country) and Georgia (U.S. state). The article about the U.S. state of Georgia's gun laws should therefore be at Gun laws in Georgia (U.S. state), with Gun laws in Georgia a disambiguation page with 2 entries (the other being the redirect Gun laws in Georgia (country)). This would be consistent with Washington (no primary topic), Gun laws in Washington, and Gun laws in Washington (state). Commenters should be cognisant of the two Talk page sections above this RM.
