Shooting at Group of 7 Teen Burglars

"Curtilage" is a term developed in fourth amendment law regarding law-enforcement doing searches and seizures of private property near somebody's home but not actually breaching the walls of the living space itself.
Do you have any information that this term applies to Georgia's laws about self-defense and deadly force?
Is there a prior reported case from any Georgia appellate Court you can point us to?
Any article published in a law journal on the subject of Georgia defense / justified use of force?
How about a Standard Pattern Jury Instruction -- one the judge might read out loud to a jury before they are sent back to deliberate on the case?
A term can have one meaning
in one area of law
that does not carry over to
any other part of the law.
An obvious example would be that federal law defines a firearm receiver or frame as a firearm. And Georgia caselaw says that firearms are per se deadly weapons.
Yet obviously you can't claim that a guy who's angrily arguing with you while holding a stripped AR lower receiver --that you know is a stripped lower receiver because you recognize it as such-- has a "deadly weapon" for the purposes of you using lethal force against him .
You say that like it should settle the matter, and end any further inquiry.
"He illegally entered my property" is far from raising a defense of justified use of deadly force.
Would "he turned to face me and appeared to be armed" work better?
thieves need to be shot in the act cause they wont do it again if they are
They picked the wrong house.
This one is DEF for the Defence & Procedures to fight out .
Michigan man charged after fatally shooting teen who broke into garage
A Michigan man fatally shot a teen who broke into his garage and is now facing a manslaughter rap — sparking controversy over the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law. Sivan Wilson, 17, was with six oth…nypost.com
They was just a couple of yutes.
Well, a gang of 7 of them. Teens and adults.
Burglarizing a garage.
But it wasn't an ATTACHED garage; apparently it was a separate building.
So, the homeowner didn't use deadly force against a gang of home invaders-robbers.
He shot at a bunch of thieves who were stealing stuff from a storage building.
And maybe the fatal bullet wound came while the young felons were fleeing?
Or did the dead burglar get shot while still inside the victim's garage (he shot through the door / wall, too).
BAD IDEA. Now the homeowner, the victim of yet another burglary in his crime-ridden neighborhood, is himself the criminal and being prosecuted.
IMO , Or Me I would have shot into the air or called the Law if they were close But ???
I did DUMP ! ship up till 20 years old & could have been shot , we were all young once + it usually involved Booze .
I was only convicted as a Juvie but Karma has been getting me for 30 + years .
If he throws it at me and it hits me hard in the head, it could kill me.
