[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 717309, member: 2426"] If you produce a weapon, pointed at the person or not, before he threatens anyone that is assault under Georgia law. I don't have a shotgun at my house, so I wouldn't grab a shotgun. I do have a pistol, so I might get a pistol but I would not let that person see it unless he presented a threat and I was in the act of shooting him. The scenario you described is a person who is suspected of maybe committing some non-violent crimes in the past walking down the road while children are playing. What about that scenarios makes you believe that the children are in immediate danger? That does not legally authorize me to do anything to that person. I could talk to him. I could tell the children to go inside. I cannot legally detain him. I cannot legally force him to talk to me. It would be illegal and stupid for me to run towards him with a gun in my hands and aggressively talk to him. [/QUOTE]
