    Can you kill a trespasser in the state of Georgia?
    I've heard both answers for this question from whom I would think are both reputable resources, so I'm here to get the final answer. Can you shoot an intruder (lethal or non-lethal, I'm not hoping to kill anyone here) or a trespasser on your property or in your home in the state of Georgia? Thank you for any comments and I hope to finally get a good answer to this question.

    Hello len:

    You now have no duty to retreat in the use of force (even deadly force) in the defense of self or others, the defense of habitation, and the defense of property other than habitation. In addition to being immune from prosecution, you are also immune from civil liability for the use of such force.
