ATLANTA, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to let licensed gun owners bring firearms into non-secure parts of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

U.S. District Judge Marvin Shoob ruled the gun advocacy group GeorgiaCarry.org, did not support its argument that guns should be allowed outside security checkpoints at Hartsfield-Jackson -- the world's busiest airport, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Sunday.

Georgia law allows weapons on public transit and GeorgiaCarry.org had argued that included Hartsfield-Jackson, the Journal-Constitution reported.

City officials, who argued 80 percent of the airport is considered "non-secure", said a gun-free environment assured greater safety for the airport's estimated 90 million passengers a year.

Lawyers for GeorgiaCarry.org could not be reached for comment regarding Shoob's ruling, issued Friday.
