Not anymore. At least 14 states have strong castle doctrine laws, including GA. Georgia's law went into effect the same year this fellow was sentenced. The town where he lives requires the head of household to possess at least one handgun. His neighbors, all white, testified in his behalf, so did the local police, again all white. Local police refused to arrest him when the prosecutor decided to pursue the case and county sheriffs had to do it.
Interesting case.
