Charges Dropped Against Georgia Gun Owner Over Illegal Storage Ordinance
In a case backed by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) on behalf of one of its members, prosecutors in Savannah, Georgia, have dropped charges of violating the city’s illegal “safe storage” ordinance.
Savannah’s City Council passed a gun storage ordinance in April that requires that a firearm stored in an unoccupied vehicle not be visible and be securely stored in a glove compartment, console, locked trunk or the area behind the last upright seat of a motor vehicle that is not equipped with a trunk and that the doors of an unoccupied vehicle in which a firearm is stored must be locked.
