Close call

My neighbor lost his gear a couple of years ago. I live a 2 minutes drive away from farm land and 4 men who live in my neighborhood broke into his house an stole computers, pedals, and mixers. Luckily our neighbor likes to dig threw everybody's business and knew that the thieves had stolen things from others in our neighborhood before and called the cops. The thieves were lucky they didn't go diggin threw my friends house cause they would have lost limbs, or died. Nobody goes threw his house without havin at least one gun(shotgun, rifle, ect.) pointed in their face once or twice. I prefer a baseball bat or dagger though, they're a little more scary than a shotgun.
They probably won't come back because of your alarm though.

I've heard a shotgun cocking back is one of the most recognizable sounds in the world,I think that's enough to scare most everyone

do they have the "Castle-Law" in the state you reside in?

As an attorney who formerly practiced in Georgia I can assure you that the state's laws are probably the best in the country as far as protecting individuals from prosecution when they are defending their persons and property from predators. Blast 'em.

One of the items that I remember from my CCDW (here in KY) class is that you can't draw you're weapon to protect your possessions, you can only draw if you or someone else is in eminent danger or being raped. Is that how GA is? I'm planning on moving my primary residence back to that state in a couple years.

In Georgia, it was the law (and as far as I know, it still is) that you could set a man-trap in your home to protect property only! Not that I would necessarily recommend it, mind you, but that was the law there. I think it is safe to say that there is a strong public policy preference in Georgia for homeowners who act reasonably to protect their persons and their property. Thieves engaging in breaking-and-entering should not be surprised to encounter some "resistance" from a Georgia homeowner -- measured in calibre, not ohms.
