That portion of Texas law is pretty much unique among the 50 states. All of which simply reinforces the concept that people who live in one state, under one set of laws, generally should not do too much spouting off regarding the legality or illegality of something in another state unless they actually know what the law says in that other state.jad0110 said:Good info to know, thanks for posting it TR. I was scratching my head over this one until you enlightened me. Though that may be permissible legally in TX, try it in NC and you'll probably wind up with more jail time than the crook
Fortunately, nobody is likely to force or require you to shoot at someone who is stealing your property. It's a personal choice. In most states, the choice isn't even (legally) available. Thankfully, in Texas it IS a choice.MinnMooney said:If your life or someone else's life is threatened, I'm all for your idea but I refuse to shoot someone who poses no threat to me but is getting away with things.
