Georgia's attorney general says Savannah overstepped in outlawing guns in unlocked cars
Fox News
Georgia's Attorney General Chris Carr said city officials in Savannah overstepped their authority when they enacted a city ordinance that made it illegal to leave firearms in unlocked vehicles.
State Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, said in a letter to Savannah officials Friday that the gun ordinance runs afoul of a state law that prohibits local governments from regulating "the possession, ownership, transport, (or) carrying" of firearms.
"Because the General Assembly has expressly designated the regulation of firearms as an issue of general, state-wide concern, no local ordinance can regulate firearms," Carr wrote.
