Georgia code presumes that if gun owners use a firearm in a self-defense situation, we’re guilty. That means that instead of the state needing to prove our guilt, gun owners need to prove our innocence.
That gives all of the power to the state! 20 states have fixed this, Georgia hasn’t.
Clearly Georgia’s self-defense laws need an overhaul.
Thankfully, SB-572, filed by Senator Brian Strickland, has been filed to fix this, and has already cleared the Senate!
Get involved! Please sign your petition to your State Representative in Atlanta, telling them that you want them to VOTE YES on SB-572 with NO weakening amendments!
