Actually yes...based on lawSo Chattanooga really is part of Georgia?
Not if they eyeballed you funny..or glowered at you. Solid defense in my opinion.In an affirmative 'self-defense' defense, you are still going to have to produce reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury; walking towards you alone, with no weapon, no threatening gesture or words, is not going to pass muster for justifiable use of deadly force.
If I'm walking across my 55 acres near Mountain City TN, and find someone on the property, and yell at them to get off my land, and they start walking towards me, with no verbal/visual threat of violence or visible weapons, and I draw my handgun and shoot them, I'm going to prison.
So if I live 2 miles east of a state border and want to go to the nearest town 2 miles west of that border, I don't actually cross a state border because the actual border's placement is irrelevant due to the short travel time? Someone send a telegram to the cartels in JuarezNope but Chattanooga isn’t on the Kentucky border and the Georgia destination isn’t down by the gulf either. Thanks for proving my point too Cletus with the BS hyperbole.
