GeorgiaCarry.org, Inc. v. Pinkie Toomer
GeorgiaCarry.org, Inc. v. Pinkie Toomer
Opinion
After review of the parties’ briefs and the record, and with the benefit of oral argument, the Court finds no reversible error in the district court’s order, dated March 13, 2009, granting the Appellee’s *228 motion to dismiss. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Appellants’ complaint for the reasons stated in that order.
We note that “[a] dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is not a judgment on the merits and is entered without prejudice.” Stalley v. Orlando Reg’l Healthcare Sys., Inc., 524 F.3d 1229, 1232 (11th Cir. 2008) (per curiam). We also note that at oral argument, Appellee represented that applications for Georgia firearms licenses are “freely given.” Therefore, were the Appellants to file a new complaint alleging either that Mr. Goyke personally requested an application and was refused, or that he submitted an application and was denied a license based on his lack of Fulton County domicile, then the standing and ripeness issues would need to be revisited.
AFFIRMED.
