ATLANTA – Pressure is growing on Gov. Nathan Deal to veto a bill allowing guns on Georgia’s college campuses. So is speculation over whether the Republican, endorsed by the National Rifle Association, will risk angering conservatives again after vetoing a religious liberty bill amid concerns that it would allow discrimination.

Some parents, students and university leaders – including Valdosta State University’s interim president – are urging Deal to scrap the bill. Advocacy groups have also ramped up efforts to defeat it.

A spokesman for Everytown for Gun Safety, which has bought TV and newspaper ads opposing the bill, said about 30,000 people have signed petitions, texted, called or sent emails urging the governor to veto the measure.

Deal has until May 3 to decide.
