In light of Georgia passing greatly expanded gun rights legislation, one of its citizens got the not so bright idea to walk around a little league park flashing his gun to anyone he encountered and telling them there was nothing they could do about it. Worried parents eventually put their kids in the the field's dugout and stationed themselves in front of the dugout to protect their kids. When police eventually arrived, it turned out the erection challenged gun nut was correct--he was free to scare the shit out of these people thanks to the goobers in the Georgia legislature.
However, if I understand Georgia's Stand Your Ground Law correctly (admission: I'm not a lawyer), you are free to act in self-defense if you have a reasonable fear for your life. So in the above scenario, the brain dead moron would be free to wave his gun about all he wants, but if one of the parents felt a reasonable fear for the lives of their children, they could shoot his ass.
I'm not advocating violence, but that would seem to be the very definition of poetic justice.
Peace,
