    Just seeing a gun irl - usually only at the airport - makes me physically recoil. They’re just so rare here. I hate that you’re right about him not being shot being news worthy, a black man trespassing… Does Georgia have stand your ground laws where you can just shoot people if you’re scared of them?

      Georgia has a no duty to retreat law where you can use deadly force against someone who invades your home and threatens you/your property, without trying to escape first. You can’t shoot someone if you were just scared of them though, at least on paper. There has to be an imminent threat. But yes with the incident involving 1. a black man, 2. trespassing, 3. Georgia… might get away with murder if you hire a ‘good’ lawyer.
