[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 720108, member: 2426"] I don't understand why you are upset with me. I didn't write the law. I am not in the state legislature, so I can't do anything about changing the law. If you are that upset that simply entering a house isn't criminal trespass in Georgia, then I suggest you get in touch with your Georgia house member and Georgia state senator and ask them to get the law changed. I would strongly suggest that you never use a revolver or pistol as an intimidation tool. When I was 21, I first got a concealed weapons license. At that time, I was shooting 500 rounds a week. I gave a lot of thought to scenarios and how I would react to those scenarios. Forget legal liability. If someone was threatening me with a gun, my first priority would be my safety. Having to convince the police that I was acting in self defense is better than being dead. Escaping is better than being dead. Being in jail is better than being dead. If someone were using a gun to intimidate me, I would have waited for an appropriate time to act. At some point, the person with the gun would hear a noise behind them and look in that direction. Or the stress of the situation would get them to rotate their neck, or wipe their eyes, or something. As soon as I saw such a thing, I would have pulled my gun from my holster, probably dropped to one knee, located the front sight with my right eye, lined the front site up on center chest of the person with the gun, rotated the gun such that the back site lined up with the front site, and squeezed the trigger. With all of the shooting that I was doing back then, I could do that [I]very [/I]quickly and hit a bowling pin at 60-80 feet every time. If I were to encounter a situation in which I thought a gun might be necessary, I would not produce it until I was absolutely going to pull the trigger. I would always assume that the other person is just as capable as I used to be, and would not want to give them the opportunity to act. Keep them in the dark about your abilities until it is too late. [/QUOTE]
