Foster said his permit arrived after eight weeks and on the same day of the attempted robbery.
"Had it happened a day earlier, I would not have had my permit. I would not have had my handgun on me, and we'd be having a different conversation, if we were even having one," Foster said.
State Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver believes the bill would be unpopular among Georgians.
"They support more background checks, universal background checks. They do not support no background check in order to carry a gun," she said.
But Foster said he believes a right delayed is a right denied.
HB2 is still in the committee process, and similar bills like it have failed in the past.
