Georgia Governor Vetoes Bill Strengthening Firearm Preemption Law
Summary
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp vetoed SB 204, a bill intended to strengthen the state's firearm preemption law by adding "storage" to activities localities cannot regulate. This bill was a response to Savannah's ordinance making it a misdemeanor to leave a firearm in an unlocked vehicle, an ordinance currently being challenged in state court by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) after a Chatham County judge found it conflicted with state statute and the Second Amendment.
