I just moved from NC to GA a few months back. In NC, my CCL instructor explained to us that we were to never reach for our gun unless we believed that we would in fact be dead if we didn't react by using our CCL weapon. (that's a nutshell version of everything the class covered, so don't bother picking it apart...I know there are other circumstances and things to be taken into account)
Waiting on my CCL to come in now that I'm in GA. Do I understand correctly that in GA it's 100% legal to "show" my weapon to diffuse a situation? "Going armed to the terror of the public" not withstanding. It sure looks like that to me when I read the laws.
If so, I'm pleased. I would much rather be forced to show my weapon before a situation got to the lethal point and never have to shoot than to wait until it gets to the point that if I pull my gun somebody is going to die.
Just looking for some clarification here.
