Savannah City Council to introduce a new resolution to repeal what they describe as a dangerous law.
The resolution is in support of repealing Georgia’s "stand your ground" law. The law was made to give residents the ability to protect themselves and property through self-defense. But local officials say it encourages vigilantism and prevents just from being served justice.
“It’s a dangerous law because right now it allows somebody to shoot and kill somebody even though they can safely get away,” said Savannah Mayor Van Johnson. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
