A Georgia gun owner's lawsuit against a Savannah city ordinance has been dismissed by Chatham County Superior Court Judge Benjamin Karpf. The ordinance in question imposes fines and potential jail time for individuals who leave firearms inside unlocked cars.
The judge's ruling did not directly address the argument that the Savannah ordinance violates a Georgia state law prohibiting local governments from regulating guns. Instead, the case was dismissed on the grounds that the gun owner lacked legal standing to sue the city as he was not a Savannah resident and had not violated the ordinance.
