A campaign event Thursday afternoon for Rep. Jon Burns, R-Newington, Georgia House majority leader, drew House Speaker David Ralston to Sugar Magnolia Bakery and Café, and also drew protesters outside opposed to a pending state law that would allow handguns on college campuses. Protesters, some but not all with connections to Georgia Southern University, chanted "No guns on campus!" and held handmade signs calling for Gov. Nathan Deal to veto "campus carry."
