A choice that we would have to make in a split second will be judged by others after the fact and under zero stress. We better train to make the right one.Just as a clarifier, I'm not a lawyer, or an actor, so I don't even play a lawyer on TV, but to repeat what I noted earlier, GA residents don't even have the right to conduct a citizen's arrest now.
If you can't detain someone who is robbing your home or who was threatening you but then backed down from the attack and is no longer a credible threat, you KNOW that you're in a state that will definitely consider prosecuting you for discharging a firearm at a 'nonviolent' trespasser in your own home.
And if they'll do that, there's a good chance that unless you can absolutely defend your decision to shoot, you WILL end up being prosecuted.
