What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a motion for summary judgment in Morris v. Savannah, its lawsuit challenging a City of Savannah, Georgia firearm storage ordinance that is patently unlawful under the State’s comprehensive firearm preemption law.
Who: FPC is joined in the litigation by Deacon Morris, an FPC member. The plaintiffs are represented by attorney John R. Monroe of John Monroe Law, P.C.
When: The motion was filed on April 14, 2026.
Where: The motion in Morris v. Savannah was filed in Chatham County Superior Court in Georgia.
Why: A ruling in FPC’s favor would affirm that Georgia’s firearm preemption law means what it says and blocks local governments from creating a confusing patchwork of gun laws.
Quote: “Savannah passed gun control law that Georgia law explicitly forbids-and then kept enforcing them even after the state’s own Attorney General told them the laws were void. No city gets to ignore the Constitution, ignore state law, and ignore the state’s top law enforcement officer. We’re going to make sure Savannah answers for it,” said FPC President Brandon Combs.
