Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Edwin Walker break down the legal battle brewing in Georgia: State vs. City – Can Savannah enforce its own gun storage laws in defiance of state firearm preemption?
A 2024 Savannah ordinance now penalizes drivers who leave unsecured guns in their vehicles—with up to $1,000 fines and jail time. But is that even legal?
State vs. City: Can Local Governments Regulate Gun Storage in Cars? That’s the question raised in Morris & FPC v. Savannah, now backed by Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr. The AG says Savannah’s law violates state preemption and does nothing to stop crime.
Key Case:Morris & FPC v. The Mayor And Alderman Of Savannah (Case No. SPCV25-00883-KA, Chatham County Superior Court)

Relevant Statute:O.C.G.A. § 16-11-173 – Georgia’s firearm preemption law
