Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Georgia Attorney General void Savannah's gun storage ordinance?

The Georgia Attorney General declared Savannah's gun storage ordinance void because it directly conflicted with state law, specifically Georgia's preemption statute. This law prevents local municipalities from enacting firearm regulations that supersede state-level laws.

What is a preemption law in the context of firearms?

Preemption laws, common in many states including Georgia, prohibit local governments like cities or counties from creating their own firearm regulations. These laws ensure that firearm laws are consistent statewide, preventing a patchwork of differing local ordinances.

What were the penalties for violating Savannah's gun storage ordinance?

Savannah's now-voided gun storage ordinance stipulated penalties for gun owners found guilty of leaving unsecured firearms in cars. These penalties included a fine of up to $1,000 and a maximum of 30 days in jail.

What potential consequences did the AG warn Savannah about?

The Georgia Attorney General warned Savannah city officials that they should note the potential for civil liability if they proceeded with enforcing the voided ordinance. This suggests the city could face lawsuits for violating state law.
