The 80's were rock salt days
you could even have a good fist fight back then too without pulling a weapon. Times are different now days.A naked man wouldn't scare me enough to shoot him, but I sure wouldn't blame the man who found it necessary.

Didn't you have a road rage guy on that street a while back, where you had to draw on him?

I see it now. Might be time to step back and ask why you are drawing more than a atlanter cop, but stuff happens, just glad it worked out for you

Nope, just had the gun at a 90 degree angle from him after he followed me in my driveway and jumped out of his truck and started running towards me, just to let him know to get off our land to leave. He was friendly after that and I actually told him to have a good day. Thanks for trying though.

Who said I'm living in fear? I'm fine, the poor pregnant woman who was less than 20 ft away from and didn't realize it to later is scared out of her mind and I don't blame her. I was just going to the mailbox and had a gut feeling to bring my gun because of what happened earlier. I had assumed the guy was gone and did not expect too see a meth-ed out dude hiding under a building. But I handled it how it needed to be handled, the guy is in jail and not dead and I was not injured, other than almost having a heat stroke.

Since I passed no judgement and only ask a question, I am not sure what I was trying.
I stated I have no need for shooting a naked man, but can't blame a feller who does, followed by it might be time to step back and take a look at why you are drawing more than a atlanter cop.
If you want to be all defensive, then I wish you well when you draw on the next feller for a misdemeanor

Sorry, but every police officer I talked to said I pretty much did everything by the book. They also said to my wife and the poor pregnant woman whose car he broke into would have been completely justified to shoot him when he started walking towards them ranting about someone killing his girlfriend and outing her in a wood chipper. Again since you seem have glossed over everything I have said in a weak attempt to prove yourself as a brilliant legal mind, he was naked, drugged out and when he started walking towards me, I pointed the gun at him and started backing up. I repeatedly told him to just be still and stay back. He kept coming and I kept backing up. When I got to the edge of the woods I stepped aside, still with my gun trained on him, allowing to escape. At this point he took one step towards me, not towards the escape route I gave him, but then he turned and left, running through the woods. Now mind you he been stealing from these people for hours or even days, and I knew they had tools in their car and their building that he could have possibly stolen and had hidden under the deck where he walked by or in the high grass. If I had my gun at my side and had he grabbed a horseshoe stake, which I knew was just inside the building where he just came from, he could been on me before I could get my gun up to center mass. Did I mention he was hyped up on drugs and pretty much ran through a briar thicket without even feeling it?
Your brandishing baloney ticket might hold up in a public place, but on private property I had been given permission and asked to help patrol by a very scared pregnant woman, well put it this way -quit giving legal advice, because you are pretty clueless.
Simmer down, sport. You are wrong, and if cops told you what you say they did, they were idiots. And wrong.
If you think I am clueless, do yourself a favor and look up Georgia code on the use of deadly force. As a gun owner, you should have been responsible and already done that, a long time ago.

I guess the proper thing to when a guy who is road raging follows me into my own driveway is to assume he just wants to shake my hand when he comes running out of his truck hollering threats at me. I guess I should have just the naked man stay laying where he was and hope he decides to not grab the pregnant woman or her 2 young kids. He was so messed up, he might have even thought they were someone who 'had his girlfriend and was about kill her and put her in the wood chipper' and forced himself inside the house had I not ran him off with my gun.
Did I mention to you legal beagles the cops only caught him because he decided to go lay naked in someone else's yard and they saw him? The poor pregnant girl could not even stay in her own house last night and may not for a long time. Had I not scared him good, he might have came back, since he had been back and forth several times. He was still messed up but remembered to tell the cops that some dude about killed me over there. You know what the cop said, you are very lucky he didn't because legally he could have.

I didn't read all that, you have been through enough and I won't argue with you about it.
hope you can get back to normal after a bad experience
Yep. You are upset about what happened, and rightly so. I don't blame you for that, and wouldn't blame you if you had posted about opening a large can of whoop(butt) on him.
Just trying to point you in the right direction about learning and knowing the Georgia laws about the use of deadly force. Probably something you should look into when you feel better.

I didn't use deadly force and I only would have if he attacked me, therefore committing a forcible felony against me. I also reasonable belief he was trying to commit a forcible felony by being naked and lying in wait for the woman and her children to sexually assault them. There is no brandishing law in Georgia. In Georgia, you can use deadly force or threat of deadly force in defense of a forcible felony against yourself or others. If he had continued and not retreated and tried to assault me on my property or the property of someone I had been given written and verbal permission to defend, then the Stand Your ground law would have applied. Cool chief?

If I were on public property and pointing a gun at someone who was not doing anything threatening towards me, then I would be without legal justification. But I wasn't, end of story.
You still need to do a lot more research. Public or private property does not matter here.
Simple battery is not a forcible felony. Deadly force, or the threat of such is not legal against simple battery...or disorderly conduct. Where was that naked man hiding his gun, knife, baseball bat, steel pipe, etc.? Did he state that he intended to kill you? (are you starting to see by my questions that your life was not threatened, especially since he repeatedly told you not to hurt him?)
Post your OP over on GeorgiaPacking dot org. There are gun-toting lawyers on there that are very well acquainted with Georgia gun laws. This forum is a bunch of good ol' boys, and we don't know much about carry laws.
