*** CODE SECTION *** 12/03/01
16-11-184.
(a)(1) It is declared by the General Assembly that the regulation
of firearms is properly an issue of general, state-wide concern.
(2) The General Assembly further declares that the lawful design,
marketing, manufacture, or sale of firearms or ammunition to the
public is not unreasonably dangerous activity and does not
constitute a nuisance per se.
(b)(1) No county or municipal corporation, by zoning or by
ordinance, resolution, or other enactment, shall regulate in any
manner gun shows, the possession, ownership, transport, carrying,
transfer, sale, purchase, licensing, or registration of firearms,
components of firearms, firearms dealers, or dealers in firearms
components.
(2) The authority to bring suit and right to recover against any
firearms or ammunition manufacturer, trade association, or dealer
by or on behalf of any governmental unit created by or pursuant to
an Act of the General Assembly or the Constitution, or any
department, agency, or authority thereof, for damages, abatement,
or injunctive relief resulting from or relating to the lawful
design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of firearms or ammunition
to the public shall be reserved exclusively to the state. This
paragraph shall not prohibit a political subdivision or local
government authority from bringing an action against a firearms or
ammunition manufacturer or dealer for breach of contract or
warranty as to firearms or ammunition purchased by the political
subdivision or local government authority.
(c) A county or municipal corporation may regulate the transport,
carrying, or possession of firearms by employees of the local unit
of government in the course of their employment with that local unit
of government.
(d) Nothing contained in this Code section shall prohibit
municipalities or counties, by ordinance, resolution, or other
enactment, from requiring the ownership of guns by heads of
households within the political subdivision.
(e) Nothing contained in this Code section shall prohibit
municipalities or counties, by ordinance, resolution, or other
enactment, from reasonably limiting or prohibiting the discharge of
firearms within the boundaries of the municipal corporation.
Seems like all counties or municipalities in Georgia can do is promulgate ordinances for their employees and limiting or prohibiting the discharge of firearms within the boundaries of the municipal corporation...everthing else is reserved by the state.
