You DO NOT have to be in fear for you life! Read the law! It can be used to prevent a felony! I can shoot someone to PREVENT a felony such as a carjacking! You can carjack without a weapon! It's called a strongarmed robbery!

Second i just said that would still be one that would go to court and have to fight a small bit, not like major trying to send your ass to jail fight but it would be one that had to be cleared over in court! Like situation 2!


Also this is kinda along the lines of what you are saying!

"A man may defend himself and even commit a homicide for the prevention of any forcible and atrocious crime, which if completed would amount to a felony; and of course under the like circumstances, mayhem, wounding and battery would be excusable at common law. A man may repel force by force in defence of his person, property or habitation, against any one who manifests, intends, attempts, or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a forcible felony, such as murder, rape, robbery, arson, burglary and the like. In these cases he is not required to retreat, but he may resist and even pursue his adversary, until he has secured himself from all danger."
Stop, all states have different laws! Where did you get this quote from? This DOES NOT summarize the GA law!
