Florida AG Sues Jacksonville for $5 Million, Alleges City Kept ‘Illegal’ Gun Registry
The state seeks a $5 million civil penalty after investigators found two years of logs at two city buildings.
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a $5 million lawsuit against Jacksonville, alleging the city maintained an illegal gun registry from July 2023 to April 2025, recording names, birthdates, state-issued ID numbers, and gun types of over 100 armed individuals entering city buildings.
- The registry was approved by city management, including Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Charles Moreland, despite claims that city leadership was unaware of the practice.
- The State Attorney's Office investigated and found the registry illegal but declined to file criminal charges, citing no evidence of criminal intent or knowledge; Uthmeier rejected this conclusion and emphasized the protection of Second Amendment rights.
- The lawsuit seeks maximum penalties and other court relief to hold Jacksonville accountable for the violation.
