For example, (I've used this scenario a thousand times now), I stumble across Joe Thug in my living room with his hands full of TV... in GA I am legally allowed to blow him away, but I personally would retreat from the use of lethal force and order him at gunpoint to put my TV down and lie facedown until the police arrive. THAT (in addition to actually physically retreating) is retreating from the use of force.

GSU has my idea perfectly. If his hands are full of TV, shooting him would be killing an unarmed man. If his hands are full of pistol or knife, well, not so much. (If he has a pistol in one hand and my laptop or little LCD tv in the other, I'll try not to hit the electronics.
