So after getting my CWP, I have tried my best to research all legalities, small or large,on GA gun laws. When you CAN shoot someone, when you CAN'T, when you can draw LEGALLY, when you CAN'T, etc etc..
well my best bud's fiancé works with several gun instructors as an assistant when they do classes and stuff, and she's always filling us in with what she hears and stuff. I don't take much of what she says truthfully, because she is 22 and over exaggerates a lot of things, and well, I want to know the truth MYSELF.
well tonight she tells me and my buddy that she learned today in a class she was sitting in, that you can't legally shoot someone if they bust down your door at home. That you have to have a reason other than "they busted down my door" etc; and that the judge will say "alllll your stuff isn't as important as this persons life" and "WAS there an exit you could have escaped from and called the police?", and you'll go to jail for manslaughter. She says this was on an official NRA PowerPoint program too..
i don't believe this...whatever happened to the Castle Doctrine of GA? "Eminent threat to myself and my family"? My father has been LE for 30 yrs now, and he discussed with me the other day when I was asking him about a similar scenario that "if someone BREAKS into my house, and bust my door down, whether they're there to kill, steal, whatever, I'm going to shoot them dead..not gonna says 'freeze', not gonna shoot them in the leg and wait for the police, no...shoot to kill, because I consider them a threat to myself and my family, whether they were there to harm someone or not..that's all there is to it"
