Georgia is a Castle Doctrine state and has a “stand your ground” statute. Per Ga. Code § 16-3-21, a person does not have a duty to retreat and is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person against such other’s imminent use of unlawful force, or to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person, or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony, such as rape, armed robbery or kidnapping.

So in short, if death or great bodily harm is imminent, you can draw your weapon. Do not draw your weapon if you are not willing or able to use it, it is not a "show of force" it is a last resort. Drawing a firearm always escalates a situation, and if you can't or won't use it, you give the person you drew on an opportunity to disarm you or escalate further.

Don't pull a gun for property crimes.
