SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia judge Wednesday threw out the case of a man cited for violating a Savannah ordinance that imposes fines and possible jail time for leaving guns in unlocked cars, ruling that the ordinance violates state law and the U.S. Constitution. The decision by a Chatham County Recorder's Court judge likely applies only to the case of the defendant who challenged the gun ordinance as part of his criminal defense. Savannah officials didn't immediately say whether they would continue to enforce the local law.
