Georgia is a Stand-Your-Ground state, meaning individuals have the right to defend themselves without a duty to retreat.

According to Georgia law, a person may use force, including deadly force, to defend themselves or others if they reasonably believe such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.

  • Threats of force or force may be used to defend oneself or another from imminent unlawful force.
  • Deadly force may be used to defend oneself or another from imminent unlawful force, and reasonably believed necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.
  • Deadly force may also be used to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
