My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia
A man began riding my bumper, so close to where I could not see his headlights. Im assuming its because I drive a "fast and furious" looking Mazda RX8. I sped up to over 90mph for a while, and slowed down to 25mph...the man never left my bumper. I tried to flag him into a gas station, he turned his blinker on and started to pull in but didnt, he took off instead. So I followed him and he wound up pulling into his driveway and got out of the car. I stopped in the road, never got out, never took my seatbelt off. I said "Whats your problem mother fu**er?" Then he fired 2 shots into the air. At that moment I pulled my gun from under my seat and put it in my lap and said, "Its okay, I have one too." Then he started firing at me, hitting my car and coming only 1ft away from hitting me in the head. When I felt the glass from my windshield hit me, I put my arm out the window and started blind firing then drove off, not knowing if I hit anything. Turns out, I hit him one time in the hip, hit his car too, and his house. I am 22 years old with no law trouble except a speeding ticket and reckless driving. From what I hear, he is 47 years old with prior gang affiliation and a criminal record. Although I could have let him go at the gas station and I could have drove off when he shot in the air, I still see it as self defense on my part when he started firing directly at me. Like I said, I have no criminal record, this is my first time offense. I just ask and pray that I will not serve jail time. Any thoughts, advice or information? Thank you!
