2). It’s very clear that Georgia’s citizens arrest law says that the force in effecting the citizens arrest must be commensurate with the offense. So running from a vacant house will not justify getting your gun. In the past, a man who beat an intruder with a baseball bat was judge to have used force not commensurate with the offense.


Had they just shot him as he ran by, your point would be valid.

Alas, that's not what occurred.

Your right getting out of the vehicle clearly negates the fact that they didnt meet citizens arrest criteria and initiated the confrontation.
