Father shoots 17 year old daughters BF in her bed. She told dad she didn't know him.

I identify myself as someone capable of raising a daughter who isn't promiscuous and who has self respect. Sorry if that puts me in a different category than you

This is really what this discussion has been reduced to?

Dude made a personal attack so I defended myself.

What if the kid in the bed were armed, and he knew he was guilty of nothing more that a little game of hide the weenie. The father comes in, draws a gun on him....can the kid defend himself with deadly force?

That would be a hell of a trick. He would have to be fast like Little Joe Cartwright fast to get from balls deep to shooting a man already drawn.

DO you have a statute on that? There was a kid in the news a while back that used his dad's AR to defend his little sister from burglars. No charges filed.

He was eligible. His house, his (parent's) weapons.

An underage male in the bed with a girl who brought a gun into someone else's house is not eligible.

O.C.G.A.§ 16-3-24.2
Immunity from prosecution; exception
A person who uses threats or force in accordance with Code Section 16-3-21, 16-3-23, 16-3-23.1, or 16-3-24 shall be immune from criminal prosecution therefor unless in the use of deadly force, such person utilizes a weapon the carrying or possession of which is unlawful by such person under Part 2 or 3 of Article 4 of Chapter 11 of this title.

Grabbing daddy's gun in your own home is different from bringing a gun to someone else's home.

You call my comment an attack?

Well, I can see with whom you most identify.

What if he punched his ol' ass out?

Must be in defense of self or others against imminent unlawful force in order to be justified.

And it wouldn't be in defense of himself even though the father was pointing a gun at him?

The problem here is that each believes something different. The big issue then is who has the predominant right to be there?
