Bikeboy has it right.

I have no problem with a business owner or resident taking down fools like this either.

Georgia”s Stand your Ground law allows a legal firearm carrier to shot “only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury,”

Note that it doesn’t have to be your life, or your injury.

If any of the staff had been legally carrying, they could have shot and killed all of assailants regardless of whether or not they were personally confronted or attacked. Same for any other legally carrying citizen who was witness to the event.

Someone bloodily unconscious and someone else with a gun pointed at them falls well within ‘reasonable belief’.

As a Decatur citizen, I don’t have any problem with anyone using deadly force to defend someones life, health or chastity from a criminal.

Georgia law would likely not look kindly unless the citizen doing the shooting was being directly threatened with deadly force by the perp. The “accidentally” would be a hard sell.

well, as long as the threat was eliminated and no innocents were harmed, i’d have to tell the citizen either Bravo Zulu or Sierra Hotel.

Oh, one more thing. It’s good to be back from the desert.
