Ya Gotta Love Texans

I like it,

Yee haw!!!!!!!!

sounds about right....only thing that would have made it better would have been if she would have still been making it say click, click, click as the cops pulled up....saying please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me!!!

Yep I do like it here

he wasn't running after the first shot
that slowed him down LOL

our death row has a drive through............lol

Yep, no waiting line in Texas, New Texas saying "Joe's mortuary state smokes em we slab em" gotta like it, wished Oregon would do a few in and make more room as the waiting line is getting a bit long.

actually in any state even with a concealed if you are shooting someone fleeing you and cannot prove you were in fear for your life (ie the perp was shooting back or waving a gun as they ran) then you'd probably be put in jail and arraigned on charges.

While the castle doctrine applies to you, your car, your home, your office, the purpose is to defend yourself, not take revenge for an act of violence, even though we'd all like to Dirty Harry the perp, the fact is you are not an officer of the law, even in some states detaining a person is a problem.

You have to be careful and cautious what you do and best to read the rules for your state. Most states have enacted the laws that eliminate the liberal left "flee first" rule where you had to prove you didn't have an opportunity to avoid or flee the situation without using deadly force.

Now, here in FL and I'm sure in TX you have the right to not be accosted nor do you have to flee, you can stand your ground.

Now the problem is you whip out that bad cold bold 44 and pump 6 holes in a guy demanding your wallet from 20 feet away and he's got no weapon, just a drunk, you're going to jail.

That guy has a gun at 20 feet pointed at you, then you have to choose, flip the wallet or the gun, I'd say, flip the wallet to the ground and when he dips, fill him with lead...

Not trying to take anything away from the story but in real life you pull that shooting as they flee and you're going to jail in most states, probably TX as well, you'd be charged..

i am trying to remember from class.....if they have your property....car, radio, purse....ect. you are allowed stop them. just dont hit anyone else!!!

Under tx law looks like you could shoot whomever commits robbery to prohibit them from fleeing with your property with a few caveats...

PC §9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is
justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible,
movable property:
TEXAS CONCEALED HANDGUN LAWS PC §9.51. 47
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under
Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly
force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary,
robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal
mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing
burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime
from escaping with the property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by
any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover
the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial
risk of death or serious bodily injury

is this a great state or what!!!!!!!?

Yep there was a older man here last summer I think that shot two thiefs who broke into the houst next door while he was on the phone with 911 & you cound here both shots , he got off gotta love Texas

i remember that.....

yup. I remember that also....only potential sticky point was if the neighbor had ASKED him to "watch his property" while he was gone..... if he had not asked to have his property watched, then it wasn't his to guard......sticky...... but I remember that outcome! I REALLY need to look into all the laws of MT to see if I have the same rights.....
