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, HB-1226, filed by Rep. David Clark, has been filed to fix this.
Get involved! Please send your PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL to your State Representative in Atlanta, telling them that you want them to VOTE YES on HB-1226 with NO weakening amendments!
