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, legislation (HB-1226) has been filed to fix this.
Get involved! Please send your PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL to the members of the House Judiciary Non-Civil Committee so they know you want them to pass this bill out of Committee and on to the House floor for a vote!
