Where does the law say you must stay inside after a robbery?
The victim is clearly covered under the "Castle Doctrine" law.

''When the worker walked outside with his own weapon, police say one of the men pointed a weapon at him and he was shot and killed.''
He seems to be covered to me.

Castle doctrine states that an employee can run out of a business with a weapon and chase a fleeing robber? I'd like to see that. Let's say he's fine legally. Is it a good idea for a worker to run outside and chase armed robbers? I don't think so. There's so much that could go wrong there that it's not worth the risk in my estimation.

Well...he survive to tell his story. Hopefully he will be able to stand up in court with his excuse...
Hey Big: Dead wrong on Castle Doctrine. You are not in any imminent danger at this time. You cannot follow a BG after the fact and shoot him UNLESS he is putting you in imminent danger by pointing a firearm at you in front of witnesses or unless you are the only witness and the BG is dead and did have a firearm that was pointed at you (wink and nod). In SC, however, there is a law on the books (when, how, why do not know) that AT NIGHT you can effect a citizen's arrest on the BG and you can use deadly force to stop him from evading the citizen's arrest---in other words, if he tries to run away (this is only at night), you can shoot him in the back. It is clearly written and has been upheld in case law.

We'll see. I doubt that you can chase after a fleeing robber like that and be good to go when your life was clearly no longer in danger. Hopefully we can get a follow up. Again- even if that was a good shoot would you think it's a good idea? Would you train students to act in that manner? What's that you say in your signature????

Whether it was a good idea or not or how I would train students to react to such a situation would be a discussion for another thread. However based on the information available in the news article and Georgia law the armed citizen was within his rights and the law. Good Shoot.

Not a deflection, I'm just not into helping others hijacking threads.
I don't see any problems with discussing the merits of this shooting. In fact, I see no better place than where the story is posted.
I think in the scenario that he poked his head out the door to see the fleeing vehicle's plate and was threatened with a gun, and then shot the gun pointer, is a good shoot.
Would I do it? Not on your life. Would I recommend anyone doing it, again, nope.
Seeing's that it happened, discussing what he should have done and what he might have done seems exactly the thing to do. That's the same thing that has been done in every other thread that has posted a similar(shooting) story.

There is no law requiring him to stay in the building!
He has EVERY legal right to exit the building!
Since he has NO duty to retreat from a lawfully occupied position, he IS covered!
Cower if you will, I want a a vehicle id for the cops!
-Doc
There's also no law that requires him to pursue a fleeing robber. These days video surveillance is pretty much everywhere. This was a Wendy's. Ever been to one? How many windows do they have? Vehicle ID my arse. He couldn't ID without exposing himself? He chased after the robbers. This is a 22 year old with a gun playing cowboy. I seriously doubt he's going to be good to go on this. There's so much that can go wrong in that scenario. He should not have chased them out of the building. Cower if you will? LMAO- play cowboy if you will. If you don't get killed the odds are very high you'll end up in jail or a civil suit.

Well, hide under your counter until the police come and make you feel safe.
This man did NOTHING wrong! NOTHING illegal! He was within his LEGAL rights at ALL times.
The odds are extremely high(almost a total certainty) he will have NO adverse action against him due to the castle doctrine laws of Georgia.
The Castle Doctrine in my state is quite clear as well. IF I followed him out a Wendy's/home/ etc, I would be in NO legal/Civil jeopardy! If the thug was stupid enough to point a weapon at me, I would NOT be in ANY legal or civil jeopardy at all for responding with force!
Maybe you have been living in the Peoples Republik of massawhatsits too long!
